In the future I'd love to move to the states and partake in all kinds of deals in the real estate market but I don't know if you're aware the US is pretty darn hard to get into...legally.

And stay right on top of them or in other words are members of the community were they invest and therefor has command and control .And those of you who happen to live in parts of the country were these low hanging fruit can partake successfully in this business should count themselves fortunate that these assets are so readily available to you within a 30 minute drive..I did not read anything that changed my mind that the 2% rule keeps prices from rising in any appreciable manner as value only rise's with rent increase's and rents are fairly stable in all these markets.Lastly as to class of asset being it A B C or D that is in the eye of the beholder, my C could be your D or visa versa .....Off to Milwaukee today then Chicago  Beer and Brats  Friday fish Fry, Deep dish pizza Miracle mile... should be a fun week on the road.Best to all

What type of investments are you looking to partake in?

The type of loan is based on what method of investment you are partaking in.

There's a property I've had my eye on in a working class neighborhood (residents upkeep yards, partake in home improvements, plenty of small children playing outside).

Thanks @JD but I don't drink coffee...I have been known to partake in a few beers though.  ;-)   ;-)

Although I don't work in the industry anymore it used to be a requirement to partake in professional real estate developments here in Norway. 

Because the owner was absentee and the manager was probably partaking in the bad behavior himself, the park was becoming more of a hassle to him than an asset.He told me that he needed income from the park to continue living the lifestyle he was accustomed to, so he said he would only sell if I would allow him to finance the deal.

As an investor and as a landlord, you can choose whether or not you partake in those programs...

If you don't like "arbitrage", don't partake in it.As far as the viability of STR arbitrage, it's very lucrative.
