In our recent acquisition of a 34 SFR rental portfolio, we are exploring different approaches to handle this efficiently.

I’d love to hear from those who are actively flipping right now—what’s changed?

I'm looking for ways I can "protect" this private lender. 

There are a few dozen houses with my target number of beds/baths/sqft that have been listed for rent on Zillow for 2+ months with 0 applicants.Is this normal or is it a sign that's there's not enough demand for rentals?

When you invest in rental properties, you can generate consistent monthly income from tenants.

Quote from @Brick Biermann: I don't have it any more, but I used to have a line of credit against some of my investments.

The land represents ~1% of the purchaseOn the contrary - if you purchase a $2 MM shack in manhattan on a postage stamp lot, the land could represent 99%Lever 2 - % of the property with a shorter useful life.Not all parts of a piece of real estate are depreciated at the same speed.Certain personal property assets have SHORTER lifespans in the eyes of the IRS vs the standard 27.5/39 year livesProperties with tons of this often have:- Over-developed land sites (hardscaping, pools, retaining walls)- Fancy Fixtures- Fancy Furniture (STRs!)

Maintenance, the life cycle of commercial W/D, and the cost of converting from coin-op to debit card operated? 

I’m seeing lenders holdback this amount.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
