Hey, new investor here who almost got to 1 but then realized that all the stuff my agents found for me would not make any cashflow at all.

I'm like a dog chasing a squirrel with this stuff. 

My decision process when hiring a mechanic, I can fix minor stuff, but fussing with engine and being wrong is not something I want to take on, and if I screw it up I lost more than initial fee plus my time.

Very negative stuff here.

Last time I talked with my mortgage lender he quoted me at a solid 4% for a loan, but that was before all this stuff went down; I'll adjust accordingly after talking with him again.

Very useful stuff.

I could spend at least $500,000 in cash on a property myself, $1-20 million if I go into it with a family member who's interested in being a passive investor, and I'm fairly sophisticated in terms of general investing know-how (financial modeling, Buffett-style value investing, general MBA stuff, etc.).

If you are buying physical business assets most of that is 10 cents on the dollar and hardly no restaurant equipment places will be for anything to liquidate because warehouse is full and nobody is opening up new stuff in this environment until they know when the peak is.    

A lot of my borrowers are looking for long term stuff however the rates that make sense today prevent some deals from hitting the DSCR requirement so I encourage them to refi into another bridge loan.

Later down the road, if you update links, the unit, how much you want to charge for rent, or other stuff like that, you can just go into your YouTube Channel and edit the content details or even upload a new video.
