You don't want there to be any trouble with your other paying tenants. 

I am working for a company doing acquisitions and I am having trouble creating a funnel for leads to come through.

For example, if you have a car loan that you’re only paying 2.9% on, why in the world would you pay that off if you can turn around and use that same cash as a down payment on an asset that’s going to produce a greater return than that?

Lender told me he was having trouble finding an appraiser in the area ("no one wants to go out there") so I made some calls.

@Astrit Bauta, regarding your final comment of the original post: why would a general partner go through all of the trouble of sourcing a deal, putting together an offering, executing on the project, etc without being compensated?  

They types of properties typically don't produce very attractive or exciting aerial views also.   

I'm in the midst of building a spreadsheet to help me quickly analyze new deals, and the part I'm having the most trouble with is estimating CapEx. 

I took a break from selling investment properties to produce tv series for HGTV.

Owning a property that produces a return is a wonderful thing.

I am having trouble finding a lender who will allow me to cash out the difference after paying off the remaining senior lien at closing and wanted to see if others have any insights.
