There are still many buyers out there including those sitting on a 1031 exchange. the unknown is what is scaring both buyer and seller.

I know they say start small and I agree but I have found the perfect investment opportunity,  it sits right around $700,000 for 8 units in Texas, I need help getting funding for it. 

Do I just have to sit back a few years until more equity is in homes, etc. 

Or you could just not proceed with it right now, and if you think it has little value as-is, will sit idle for a while, could drop in value in the next few months/year, etc. then you could possibly negotiate a better deal down the road. 

Nice $$$ for butt-sitting.

I’m now sitting on 100k cash for investing.

In terms of the partnership, we plan on sitting down and really hatching that out and getting a set document in place that we both agree on.

A lot of uncertainty has resulted in people sitting on the sidelines until things play out further.

Will you be on the hook for lot rent if the home sits empty?

I always advise newbies to sit down a lender right away, in order to develop realistic goals.
