Cap rates are terribly compressed because rents are generally pretty sticky and lag behind real estate prices.

Please offer advice on how to handle this sticky situation.

This DEFINITELY woke me up, and made my head explode-the perils and potential land mines awaiting the new note buyer.I have voted you both up, this needs to be made into a Sticky!

Read the sticky topics at the top of the BP wholesaling forum where you will find a collection of methods for this. 

Sounds like a sticky situation.

@Larisa Dalekorey I like @Marc Rice 's idea.

Since your firm acts as qi, how are the moneys being kept secure and safe from sticky fingers.

  - Lack of stickiness -- small multifamily properties do not have the size, space, or scope to offer amenities, which is the thing other than price that makes people stay in a shared wall/shared floor/shared yard situation for longer than they have to.- Code becomes a bigger and costlier deal -- all of your properties will be squarely considered commercial and NOT residential, so when you pull permits to do substantial improvements you'll *get* to install a sprinkler system, etc- (speculation here) More susceptible to property tax hikes As for me and my house, we have chosen to buck the conventional wisdom and stick to SFR and small multi's (doubling down on what we know and are skilled at) until we can jump to more sizeable mutlifamily properties.
