Betting that is going to happen again while new smart participants have entered the market(sophisticated players like black rock) and retail (everyone who watches finance youtube knows about real estate) I think is a foolish bet.

Which I don't do and I still get them coming sometimes.Just be aware once operator stars  options to refinance will only be private or  commercial loans tried myself and no luck hard hide is a assisted living with people in it heard of some doing some crazy stuff but hate going illegal on things like this, ended up refi with commercial forget about cash out and such, and you are bound by appraisal as a commercial property which was in our case 25% lower then if we sold it empty as a residential home.

The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to get a rock solid lease and good insurance and make sure you keep your property maintained and provide all the safety equipment required by law.I only own one property atm and I don't even own the house I live in so I don't think the risk is worth the cost but once I get a few more properties I will definately get an LLC for my properties.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

But there are great data sources, co-star, city data, census data.

I tossed LEED in favor of Energy Star as it seems easier to achieve.

You have to be living under a rock (if you are a MF investor) to not know the challenges MF is facing right now.

Hi John, I recommend reaching out to a local property manager (search on Google Maps) with many 5-star reviews to see what legal action you can take before the Sheriff is available to execute the eviction.Property managers specialize in landlord-tenant law and should be able to help you determine a path forward that doesn't require waiting 3 months after the lease ends.

I’m in search of existing investors or STR operators in Utica, IL, Ottawa, IL, and the nearby Starved Rock region for potential gatherings.

They have Co star data + rent data + you can create a valuation on the fly before you can walk into a property .
