I have two condos in my portfolio and I like having the HOA restrictions to help keep the community, tenants in check and the risk of the community deteriorating over time is also reduced with a well run association.Currently I live near a huge townhome complex (few hundred townhomes) that was built in the late 90's.

The bank is not requiring any seasoning, as soon as the rehab is completed they are refinancing me with portfolio loans up to 85% of the new appraised value.

It was a mixed month, but not too bad:- Made the decision to start adding single family rentals to our portfolio again.

Over the next two years I plan on using existing cash flows from my current portfolio to 1) continue the aggressive debt paydown on these two balloons and 2) purchase an additional 6 SFH or fewer multi-families totaling about $150,000 in total acquisition costs.The options I see are:1) current situation- continue paying off the two 6.625% mortgages over the next 28 months.

I can likely 1031 exchange my portfolio into some pretty conservative investments and be better off.

I am trying to figure out a way to have a mortgage on a property instead of having it free in clear with renters so that I can simply collect debt payments on some of my portfolio.

We have a large inventory of seriously delinquent loans in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio, many of which will likely complete the foreclosure process and transition to REO during the next few quarters as our servicers work through their foreclosure-related issues."

Seller financing would be used for part of one poster's portfolio.

Very Low-education/High Crime/Hood areas are very risky because of the systematic risk associated with the area, mainly the inhabitants of the area.About 20% of my portfolio is low income and they are more work than the 80% of my units in more livable neighborhoods.

Eventually, I would like my own portfolio of properties and capital generation from my own rehab/flip.I hope to be making offers by the end of the week.
