After 45 + years investing in, purchasing and selling notes and real property; structuring “deals”, running investment funds and syndications, I have observed that many (most) investors both hesitate too long gathering too much information before making an offer AND do not do enough investigation, analysis and due diligence before they finalize a purchase.Seems like opposites, right?  

My husband and I are new to RE investing, and we're looking at a property we want to buy to start our portfolio.

That’s a big reason I invest in commercial mortgages only  

She now lives in a memory care facility, and her properties are part of an irrevocable trust.

For those who've used bridge loans before, how did they impact your ability to capitalize on time-sensitive investment opportunities?

I don't particularly want to sell my share of this property as it has appreciated quite a bit since we've initially invested and I'm hoping I can eventually get him moved out to turn it into a full-time rental property.

I am new to real estate investing and thinking of starting off by doing a "house hack" via renting out the unused basement as a short term rental (AirBNB, Vrbo etc) in my single family home which is used as primary residence.

The interesting grey area that seems to arise is lenders only lending on investment properties under the auspice of commercial lending.

They haven’t invested their own money successfully, but they want to invest someone else’s.
