- Are there any “tricks” they can play to raise payments indirectly, for example: Is the escrow mandatory for the life of the loan, and if yes, can they somehow manipulate that to increase the payments they can benefit from?

If the latter, perhaps you can break up the cash out plays and incrementally shift the equity into new deals.

Hey that’s the special cookie recipe you need to make, and then your golden, I have similar issues, prices now are like a slot machine or like an auction, they are all complaining about supply and demand, I wonder if my contractors hire Chinese people and these people are stuck on a boat in Cali because all of the truck drivers are on strike?????

I think it's mostly an appreciation play if you can even cash flow anything.

Option 4: Keep grinding and playing it out slow to continue to save funds and potentially use one of the strategies above in the next 3-6 months. 

That said, the size and condition of the facility as well as the size and health of the market will come into play. 

@Dmitry Rockman Panama City has been great, with big plays for appreciation as well.

I want to be involved in the process and do the work myself and see how it plays out. 

@Dillon Hudson - It sounds like you are planning to start slowly - The best play is to buy something close so you can self manage - I would buy a house in the woodlands - opportunities pop up every day - get something small in Grogan's Mill, Panther Creek, or Cochran's Crossing - with interest rates where they are (for now) you can find decent cash flow with 20% down.  

I never want to  have to miss my daughters school plays and soccer practices because I’m too busy at work.
