I'm interested in hearing about the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of real estate investment

You can do DSCR loans or Hard money loans, where they only focus on how well the subject property performs in terms of the rental aspects or the ARV aka after repair value.

Things to know before investing: Besides the property itself, what other aspects should I consider before committing to a multifamily deal?

Thank you,Dave Check out DSCR Loans - no DTI is the key aspect of the loan product. 

FTHB wouldn't chase MFs syndication apartment obviously.These two aspects create more price stability for single family residential.

All the while their BRAIN is recovering- which can scientifically take upwards of an entire year before it’s completely ‘healed.’

Good commercial Bank / Bankers are I believe critical aspects of our business I know mine for sure kept me upright during the GFC.

In this case, tho, I don’t think I got someone experienced in this aspect of the market. 

The legal aspects also scare me a bit, but that's mostly out of ignorance rather than knowledge of what goes into it.But since I've read a bit more it seems that hiring a PM might not be in my best interest.

MF hedges against market shifts and cap ex. also doors are a multiplier X so if i have 100 units under 1 roof and 1 of my tenants moves out and trashes the place well thats only 1% of my expense.. as opposed to 1 SFR which would be 100% of my expense.. the only aspect I could potentially agree with is the liquidity.. but lets start off with IF you are investing in holding real estate then you SHOULD be holding LONG TERM. so liquidity is only a tertiary calculation.
