Gap funding for flips the riskiest way there is to lend money, so they don’t just hand it out like candy.

@Eric Dumais Hi Eric, another scenario to consider is one which I recently did where for the sake of simplicity let’s say I paid candy for at $400,000 for an 8 unit.

I agree rates will remain high, the concern that I did not see mentioned though is liquidityGive a kid a blank check to go to the candy store and they are like Charlie sheen in a brothelThey are just leaving now and are coming off that high but there is no more checksThey are now going through their pockets and are like uh oh, let me go get more $, but that well is running very dry.People who are going to get crushed are those making $50-100k a year who bought homes and trying to compete against their neighbors.

@Tyler Jahnke  about 18 months too late.. horse is already out of the barn ... its a stampede now.. its like stealing a candy bar getting caught and oh we will just put it back and you should forgive us.

Bring financing flyers, water, or candies, or something else to add value.Met a lender at a meetup the other day for a totally different situation. 

Never pay of 'ifs or buts and candy and nuts'.

I think he's just got her on there for eye candy and to give him the family man image.

I was visiting Crowley,TX and Burleson,TX this past weekend and the properties are still very cheap compared to the rest of DFW.

This is called CONTRACT CANDY.

@Carter Crowley I’d love to talk more about it with you and hear what you chose as a path.
