One thesis I was evaluating was purchasing 4-plexes that need only light rehab at the worst, maximizing the units I could conventionally finance for 30-years at low rates, as well as gaining obvious economies of scale on closing costs and property maintenance, then turning to my community banker for purchasing REOs and other distressed properties, with all meeting (or nearly meeting) the 2%/50% guidelines (adjusted up or down based on "risk" of location and frequency of expected turnover).

Quantiative easing is increasing the available supply of credit and lowering rates, but consequently a greater money supply means eventual inflation and higher rates to adjust.

For many vendors I find their pricing models difficult, they 'sell' too much, and some times negotiating with them is a problem since they are looking for retail prices and customers and don't adjust to meet my needs.
