One week into 2025 and the US housing market is facing considerable new challenges. 

Beal Real Estate helps our clients find the best commercial and residential off market and listed deals available.

I suspect most who requested cash for keys had previously received cash for keys.What I do instead is explain:- the housing shortage in my market and that an eviction will forever make it difficult to find a quality rental in this market. - I will ding their credit such that all credit cards and other debt will cost them more.- I will keep their security deposit for funds owed.- I will do my best to garnish future wages until their debt to me is paid in full.This has worked 100% time so far.  

Instead it looks like a sales pitch that is targeted to unsophisticated investors who are new to the space.If that's actually the situation here than these deals generally have multiple things I can't stomach and is an immediate red flag for me.2) AAA Storage growth: At one point I was interested in this sponsor because of the claimed full real estate cycle track record with little to no money lost.

Ensure the property’s price aligns with market trends, and work with a local realtor to help with due diligence and negotiation.Good luck!

Natural appreciation usually takes holding the property for at least a few years (just depending on what the RE market does going forward).  

The property will be rented out on a 3-year lease option and will be either sold to the tenant buyer or sold on the market if the tenant decides not to exercise the option.  

Exactly if its a hot deal cash just means you beat out the next guy who needs financing does not mean deep discount .. at least in markets were RE is sought after.

Depends on your goals and the current market.

Many of these lenders allowing 2nds behind them are more expensive capital (10's - 13's in our current market [high rates - but now showing signs of coming down]).
