I am both hopeful that rates get cut (it will save some of my LP investments) but also hope they go up, significantly, so there are more opportunities for those of us with dry powder.

Have never heard or experienced that...we try to do excessive due diligence during contingency to ensure that doesn't occur.

Great deals and I would continue with them but the market dried up in 2022 with legalization of recreational marijuana in CA Since returning to investing I have been exclusively in cash.

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

The total fees we were quoted from one lender initially were $50k on a $6ook DCSR between origination, closing/admin and title, seems excessive?

Feels like this buyer pool dried up recently with the interest rates rising?

Yes, the SW is dry and we will see who hurricane season brings for the SE.

It was a nightmare to try to charge tenants because so many just used excess water all of the time...like leaving the hose running overnight on a driveway. 

If your broker markets the sale properly, you should be able to recover at least the excess in commission.

You should only consider switching when your current software has a significant flaw or lacks features that force you to spend excessive time on workarounds.
