I get all their houses walked by 1 sometimes 2 different GCs even before I tell them about it. 

As the customer, the difference between Neighbor as the business, and the "host", do not really matter to me.

There are so many different strategies to finding off market deals.

It is a very different market now.There was only one time I recommended arbitrage to another member.

agree with the other comment, different markets are doing different things. also, "be greedy when others are fearful." what people might be afraid of is, lots of commercial ARMs coming up on their rate adjustments, & the new rates (compared to 5y ago when they first purchased) will kill their cashflow, so they'll sell, and if everyone is doing this at once, supply might outweigh demand, everyone has to sell for less than they planned, and everyone who hangs on to their similar properties gets to recalculate their estimated mkt value with the new going cap rates. i don't personally think this is going to cause as insane of a shift as some people do, but it's all speculative, we won't know til it happens. if you can find a deal that pencils with 30y fixed debt, do it. 

Hi,I am a new comer in real estate investment community and looking for different platforms and syndications.Not sure this is right a forum to ask...I have done investing through couple of crowdsource platforms like Realtymogul and Arrived.

I stopped using them and got better results with a different postcard - mailing to the same list.

Loopholes are often used in illegal ways.In this case, it is just the law, the rules, the regs...it was designed this way and is working as directed.I think it is important to make sure people understand the differences.

If you are just holding the lot, then there are more favorable terms available than what you are currently experiencing.I always recommend shopping at least 3 different lenders (even more), as every single institution has different terms and requirements, and they all offer different financing products.

I can walk you through several projects currently in progress at different stages and answer questions, etc.
