I have seen a couple of sellers cancel negotiations until further notice.Equity will get easier to raise with the situation in the stock market.

Banks crash the entire economy, bankrupt millions of people, raise unemployment to over 10% etc etc and what happened?

It's all about your relationships, experience, track record or that of your partners and sponsors and the property itself.Raising big capital, like $20, $50 and $100 million raises is an art and a business.

My wife stays at home with our children, and I am a pastor who at that time raised my own salary.And we were looking at 3-bedroom homes to rent for $4,000+ a month.I needed a solution, because we didn't make that much money.THE PRINCIPLE OF LEVERAGE:As we were faced with the problem of rent and space for our growing family, I began to think through the principle of leverage.

After finishing the first unit and raising the rent i would then be close to breaking even.

What about if your raising rents and now don't have the turnover you need or demand?

Will your tenant want to raise or house mice or other rodents and insects until the snake is ready to eat?

Current Rent RollCopies of all leases including rate, security deposit, lease terms, unit number, start and end dateNotices of 30-day rental increases (under rent control can only be raised 3-5% per year). 3% if tenants pay their own utilities, rents can be raised 1% if the landlord pays for gas, and 1% if the landlord pays for electric.

Could be minimal to nothing or even raise rates.money may flow more to cash and gold rather than mortgage backed securities...which actually is what determines mortgage rates.
