Real estate is a relationship business and I hope to build as many with as many like-minded people as I can.

People will try to play mind games to make you break, don't let them get to you.

Keep in mind that on days like today there are also stocks that are gaining 20%, 30%, 40% in value, every Index that listed major losses also had major gainers. 

Annual CF:         9,600.00ROI:                           7.8% (rejected)Keep in mind, this analysis is at 8-10% BELOW ASKING PRICE...………...At 300,000, (200,000 plus less than asking, it starts making around 10-11% but that price is just crazy versus asking.So...in my mind, its a lot of work handling a MF building for 8%...a 401k averages 8 with little effort and little risk (well until now!!!)...

Another question that came to mind.

Clickbait works because it puts a question in your mind that makes you feel compelled to click and get the answer.

Maybe more.So between down payment, closing costs and repairs, I'd have to front somewhere around $50K - $60K, which I don't have.The strategy that I am considering is finding a hard money lender for this initial costs, with the idea that I pay back all at once when I refinance.On paper, it seems a good prospect for which may be worth to due a solid due diligence but I want to make sure my strategy is entirely doable and be aware of the risks I have to keep in mind. 

There's also a chance the PM sucks and you either need to part ways according to what the PM agreement allows, or become substantially more involved in the relationship with the manager - essentially becoming the "squeaky wheel" who will get the grease.Keep in mind the RE industry has a very small barrier to entry, which allows a lot of seemingly unable people to get involved. 

Also they want to get a condo or a townhouse because its more comfortable and I am here dying in my mind thinking on HOA fees, not having an extra room to rent for house hacking, etc.My brother told me that one of the lenders told him that the loan options would be better if we both are in it (me as a cosigner) thing I refuse to do.

There is nothing wrong with that if people are trying to connect with other like minded individuals.
