One of the first deals I had (multi in an up and coming area) my buyer was paying cash and the deal was solid.  

Our project management kept everything on schedule, making the property highly attractive to buyers.

Build - rent - refinance -repeat. in columbus ohio you are buying old houses that are 1900 or 1920 or 1940 and you are in a sellers market. on the other hand you can source land which is a buyers market and build single family homes or duplex or triplexes that will return by renting and pulling cash out on a DSCR loan and doing it again. there aren't a lot of strategies that do this. flipping is different. so many risks. but when someone has a well oiled machine it's all good and less risk.

And no partner bank was willing to finance based on projections and a turnaround story, even though we had an SBA pre-qual.In the end we made the case to the sellers that no buyer would be able to obtain financing and got them to agree to 85% LTV seller financing.Happy to answer more in-depth questions via DM. 

A longer timeline will make paying the extra 2% now more attractive.

Most of our buyers and investors are focusing on value add or land acquisition to build to experience cashflow and equity.

My investors acquire with cash as a routine investment strategy to secure properties quickly and eliminate competing buyers using financing.

These areas are super attractive for investors.It's not hard to see why. 

For example, an ADU is nice for a rental, but not every home buyer wants to pay a premium for an ADU on their property.This would be case by case and property dependent.

I sold that in 92. next iteration was 2002 when I started a new lending company in Portland OR to specifically fund Turnkey buyers in the mid west doing BRRRR loans we killed that.
