I would expect most realtors to not recognize the potential of many/most value adds. 

It's coming off an irrational low that savvy investors like @Michaela G recognized.  

When you are negotiable, wishy-washy, or uncertain, then Tenants recognize that and they'll figure out how to play you like a cheap fiddle.

I would love to chat about it. 1) There are more than one self-directed custodian that we have clients with. 2) We normally create a segregated LLC owned by the IRA and the money flows in and out of that to keep from triggering gate fees with the custodian. 3) Most of the loans we do have pretty quick turns...usually 7-10 days. 4) If we use "checkbook control" and create an LLC that holds the loans that is, in turn, owned by the IRA, that speeds things up and keeps the fees low from the custodian.

Generally speaking there are 2 main types of loans for investors: “Conventional” and “Portfolio”Conventional - I'll define these as loans that come from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (if you recognize those names).

If you consistently analyze properties, it will be much easier to recognize a good deal when it shows up.

I’m recognizing that MTR is in the beginning stages, much like STR was in say, 2017, and one of the advantages of seeing that is getting into the space earlier, and providing a good product, so that way when more people turn to it, I have infrastructure and a foundation in place. little tired today, so hopefully that made some semblance of sense 😂  

Many lenders will build spread into the swap quote since accounting rules allow them to recognize the revenue from the swap immediately (vs. spread and loan fees are recognized over life of loan). 

If you consistently analyze properties, it will be much easier to recognize a good deal when it shows up.

It's also humbling to read my stuff and recognize how awful it is compared to some of the good writers out there.
