I want to acquire mainly single family homes (at least for the first few years) but financing with a standard mortgage will be difficult to achieve in a year.

Investors have a difficult time with them also.  

Hi, BenjaminIn my experience it's very difficult to get a rehab loan using financing that you would use on a move in ready home for your own personal residence.

While I admit to finding this difficult to implement, I think it's vital to schedule time.

Some studies suggest that there is a deficit of 42,000 apartments so you can imagine how difficult it is right now for one to purchase anything here!

So I am new to this world and want to invest in New York, at the moment it seems difficult to get into the 5 boroughs in NYC.

So it shouldn't be too difficult to get him to play ball as long as you let him know you're not wasting his time and gives him business for the deals that will work.

I think it's very difficult to sell an unfinished property to a retail buyer.

Although, I have to say it's quite simple, but yes, it's the simplest things that are often the most difficult.  

The investors have been very difficult to work with from the very beginning with grinding us down on our prices to a very very slim profit margin (almost making the job not worth taking but we got so far in deep we accepted any way).We originally asked for a 50% deposit prior to work starting as we have never worked with this particular investor and then we would collect the remaining balance once work has been completed.They had two other bids but decided to go with us because of the quality of our work as showcased in the portfolio we presented to them.Well, they managed to get us down to 25% of deposit (initially they asked for 10%).
