But it is a challenge, particularly when transparency is hard to come by at best of times anyway.

@James Wiseyes sir - i want to hear OP explain it to me.i have a hard time managing them one hour away!

I feel a loss of direction and that makes it really hard for me to focus and build.Do we keep at building a portfolio of small multi family (very abundant in my market, very rare to find anything above a triplex for sale), with plans of selling the portfolio and 1031'ing into larger properties? 

Its dashboard is so cluttered, it hard to see who has paid and who hasn't.

They promise no money down hard money, DSCR loans, and all the other load of crap to sell you a course to teach you lol. 

Offer to be the guy that restores the old family property to it's former glory and all....Still it'll be hard to not look greedy because you do want to make money after all.....main thing to me is being super PATIENT.

For less risk, consider hard money or a business LOC.Remember that LLC might help in tax savings if you are going to have decent profit.

I'm finding it a little hard to understand why it's more expensive to do this way?

The buyer finally reaches out to say that the bank is having a hard time seasoning a couple of the homes in their portfolio. 

My last comment on the attorney who has done 10k of these and given my experience I find it hard to believe with the law of averages and peeps being peeps that only 10 of 10k have been called over all these years if they are wrapping conventional and VA and FHA type mortgages..
