Last year, I purchased a SFH under market at 7.65% interest rate and did some rehab to up the value.

Although in the last couple deals most have come out as 506C deals where only accredited investors are allowed, there are still 506B syndications where you can be a sophisticated investor (self proclaimed) so you don't have to be accredited.

I went deep on SBA 504 loans when we were buying a bed & breakfast property last Jul / Aug. 

Steve,It is true PE and investment groups have been gobbling up the market over the last 10 years- so much of the 'great all TOH parks' are more and more difficult to find. 

The kick on this product is these tenants are on a triple net (NNN) lease that last in between 3-5 years.

There would potentially be some weight issues with the 2nd+ floors of some shopping malls, depending on what the potential tenant wants to store in the upstairs unit. 

Seasoning is the time period between from closing of the last transaction to the closing of the new transaction. 

Hi everyone,I bought my first studio condo in Astoria, NYC, last December.

I want to remain local in NJ or at most drive down 1hr to PA (self-manage or, last resort, hire a PM)However, I must also consider maintaining reserves, a safety net for my primary home, and an emergency fund.It's just hard for a new investor now :(

Without population growth, your rental income will lag behind inflation, requiring you to find additional sources of income.How long your rental income lasts depends on the job growth in the investment city.Non-government jobs are inherently temporary.
