This all largely depends on your appetite for leverage.

Or the bank has reduced its appetite for your type of loan and is not rolling over deals that are maturing.

There is a wealth of information here to wet your appetite, and you're already ahead of most by recognizing the opportunities in RE.

That first deal will wet your appetite, I'm sure of it :)It sounds like you're interested in buy & hold investing.

So I'm looking into acquiring my next property. And I have one in my sights. A run down 6 unit. It needs some updates. But otherwise pretty good shape. But my contractor has advised me that in the great city of Low...

If one doesn't have an appetite to lend we thank them for their time and move on to the next lender.Finding suitable equity investor relationships takes time.

I am fairly confident in estimating the reno efforts within the individual units but when you start looking at the structural integrity of the building itself and some of the systems (HVAC, electrical, fire suppression, etc) which can be quite different than what you encounter in a smaller building, hire a professional.This is one of the reasons you have a longer diligence periods on commercial / multi buildings.

In this case, and every other 'ring' case, the parties conspire to suppress bid prices.

It helps big time and definitely wet the appetite to own more rental property.Can't wait to hear about the details on your first true investment.

Since it's in a rough area many lender will not have an appetite for it.The 2 new tenants just signed up you can't really count that income.
