Think of the velocity of money, if it takes you 10 years to get your investment back, could you have invested that money in any other deals within that 10 year period that would have a greater return? 

It seems they have tried to make it happen but the velocity just isn't there yet and what the deal is but there are a few apartment condos there looking like nails sticking out of the ground, Liekthey built a few and halted the area around them and gave up. . 

The problem with this deal is the velocity of money, AKA how quickly you can refinance and get your initial investment back.

There's generally lower market velocity, so in the event that a HML needs to take back a property and sell it, the process is far more difficult.You might try to find a local HML as opposed to a national one, or even a private lender with less sensitivity to the rural location.Best,Michael

Right now, velocity is still not very available, prices have not shifted / corrected and materials along with labor are still high, further interest rate pressure just does not help the SFR space at the current time.

Pay your mortgage down with as biggest payments that you can to pay it down faster.It has also been called a velocity loan, same thing different name.

Renting out the front half of my house and living in the loft would give me the financial escape velocity I need and give me some experience in land lording.

Money Velocity has been falling for years and right now it's in the basement.

Any asset class works great if you can great a velocity on your money.
