I have a limit of 35 pound weight.

Here are my current numbers I’m working with (13 projects):-Projected value of existing projects: $8,900,00 (estimating based off ~15% price reduction from market peak)-Existing debt (including HELOC): $3,372,000-Estimated building / rehab costs to complete existing projects: $2,550,000Total Leverage on existing projects: (3,372 + 2,550) / 8,900 = 66.5%My gut tells me I’d probably rather live around 50-60% leverage, but scaling obviously becomes difficult without increased leverage.

@Tom MakinenHmm, I was looking to take advantage of the reduction in payment the loan mod would offer but it seems like there’s always a catch.

You will get the additional homestead tax reduction if you claim the property as your primary residence. 

If interest rates are the primary factor holding you back from buying, then it’s important to talk to your lender and agent about rate reduction strategies.If you’re a seller, then you’ll want to pay close attention to the market as we head into the spring.

Just had my attorney put em together last week for 2023 (Even with em, consult a local attorney to make sure they hold weight in your market)https://drive.google.com/drive...

These price reductions are significantly higher then what we normally see as a seasonal drop. 2021 saw a 11.9% seasonal drop and 2020 saw only a 10.6% seasonal drop, we are at nearly double those rates right now. 

With the way I screen tenants, the public record is not the #1 weighted check.

I'm with @Wayne Brooks on this... most people would not go through the expense of trying to force a sale and may even waive the right to do so by their actions/inactions.The effort to get a $20k reduction was a counter... arguably the deal died at the point it was rejected.

This reply alone was worth its weight in gold.
