@Michaela Hayes What about these projects would make it compelling for a lender to offer 100% financing?

Here in FL a pool trumps all and having a spa feature built in offers additional ROI. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

We knew the place was special, that's why we jumped with a full-price offer.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Here are some additional comments to add - please be sure to read the last comment regarding making contributions to both an IRA and 401k.Can I set up a SDIRA if I have full-time job?

It will also allow you to focus more of your time and resources in the actual real estate vs. raising capital which usually leads to poor real estate acquisition and operational decisions because raising capital is your full time job leaving an inadequate amount of time for the real estate.OK, chasing 32unit apartments, acquisition priced between 3.2M - 4.8M.  

If you're looking to get a condo and you purchase on floor 3 or above, I would say Flood coverage is probably not necessary.Murrells Inlet has some great things to offer. 

You can't genuinely expect other cities to not try to create the infrastructure, job desirability, living conditions to impede such progress.
