This tells me that a lot of buyers are buying this way to make the cash flow numbers work, if the numbers won't work on fixed rate debt today many of them won't work on fixed rate debt in the future of a rising rate market leaving some owners forced to sell at a discount to get out or hold a losing property for as long as they can.On the commercial acquisitions, I expect to see a smaller pool of opportunity however the same risk factors mentioned in the 4 and under unit property class will also exist in the commercial property class as well there's just more liquid competition from the small Syndication pools to absorb those deals, I'll only participate in Mid-size Syndications once rates reach a certain point as that is the best strategy for me.    

I am also lurking around the edge of this pool without having jumped in yet.

Or doesn't update the pool or requires specific glass to be used on a broken window that no longer is available.

Folks, following on my previous post, I am exploring the idea of turning a former demolished pool area into a soccer field (picture attached). 

So I bought my first house (single-family pool home) in Florida 4 years ago.

Worth area (DFW) - Does anyone know specifics for city code in Dallas as to how to fill in pool (holes, crush walls, etc.) and typical cost?

But most Bay Area cities ban tiny houses on wheels in backyards unless the person living in them works as a caretaker for someone on the property or is cared for by someone living in the main house.

I have added to it over the years to include things like - no car washing or exterior water usage, no pools or slip in slides in the parking lot, can't move the furniture outside, no hot-plates, etc, etc.  

I caveat that with, if the market does something and gives you an opportunity that seems to good to be true ( and you verify that everything as it should be ) it may be time to pool resources, scale etc.  

You have a tremendous resource in your own back yard, David Lindahl and REMentor (in Boston), who teaches people all over the country how to buy multi-family, how to find the right markets, and how to syndicate deals.
