That process has direct lender involvement.Where the challenge lies, is when unsophisticated "investors" with no experience, no money and no reserves use creative financing (often called wrap, subto, lease option, seller financing, land contract) to purchase properties and along the way there is a "hiccup".

Lending was another challenge, lending restrictions were starting to tighten up, and we had to get a bit creative with our lenders to get the financing we needed to close.

Reread what @Stuart Udis wrote.We can testify to the same challenges after 25 years in our marketplace.We also agree with @Kristian Sexton about starting with a PMC.

Our last deal we engaged a mortgage broker that also brought a Private Equity LP (Limited Partner) to the deal. 

Reliable, thorough housecleaning services can be challenging to find.

Real Estate is rewarding, and challenging.

It’s not always easy, but each challenge has taught me something new.

Challenges?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a rental property in a condo managed by an HOA, and I’m dealing with a challenging situation that I’d appreciate advice on.

Larger owners tend to analyze market rents monthly or even weekly and manage rents (or incentives) the best way they can.As long as the owner is engaged, the chance of adjusting rents is higher.
