Hi,I'm a real estate investor based in Cape Town.

On the other hand, investors who rely heavily on debt markets tend to respond swiftly to macroeconomic factors like rising interest rates, concentrating on large, management-intensive projects, and adjusting their price targets based on their evolving cost of capital and future cash flow projections.The top end of the market sees a limited number of marketed investment deals, but the sluggish transaction activity is not due to a lack of supply at the lower end.

We're currently based out of Las Vegas, NV and are looking forward to learning alongside everyone as our focus will be on investing in long-term rentals in both in NV and TX.

While I would love to pay less, based on my discussion with them and what they provide, I was comfortable with that.

They promise to work with you past 6 months or until 3 deals are closed (which you split 50/50) whichever is earlier as long as you do 1,000 mailers per week and attend at least 1 live office hour per week but the 6 months is implied to close 3 deals based on their marketing and conversations. 

They can answer the phone and hopefully have a properly staffed office. 

I just got off the phone with a Michael Blank mentoring call

Just don't make that decision based on the first thing you hear from them.

I know I have other options like selling the notes or partialling, but this question is more focused on taking collateral based loans against the notes.

Real estate generates a return through cash flow + appreciation.It appears that cash flow is negativeAppreciation appears to be 0% over 2-3 years based on zillowThe question is what you beleive the future will hold for cash-flow and appreciation.Cash-flow will likely continue to be negativeThe question is what do you think about the appreciation for the bay area.If the property continues to stay at $850,000, it will likely not be a good decision to hold on to the property.If you think the property can appreciate to $900,000, $950,000 over a few years, then it can potentially be a good reason to hold.
