And the ability to adapt is critical: we have seen so many STRs pop up in Milwaukee over the last years, that only the best thrive.Speaking of it: next week at RPA-CON we have a session about STR vs LTR.

I am not judging those that invest in Bitcoin (although, i recognize that my initial comment sounded like I was). 

My hesitation is that after accounting for all of the items you are supposed to account for when analyzing a deal, the CoC return on the down payment is pretty much negligible initially.

in short, it's going to take a lot of networking and time that doesn't initially have any revenue attached to it.hope this helps

Anyway, those are my initial thoughts. 

Now, we are out of the identification window so we are left with either trying to save the current deal (which involves accepting terms that weren't initially part of the deal or call it quits and pay the capital tax gains on half of the proceeds from the sale.Are there any other options that would be worth considering?

As for capital, I will be utilizing my HELOC for initial fund on first deal.

Initially we thought we would flip, but now we're thinking of holding and using the equity for future investments.

Just initial talks w my civil, I think we can get 40 pads or so.

Bottom line, initiate the transfer of funds from Federa back into your bank account and contact your bank immediately to initiate a dispute.If anyone actually got to partake in an auction or got their money transferred back into their bank, I'd like to hear from you.
