They're setting a market in a low transactional/low liquidity environment.

At the end of the day, there is still a lot of opportunity out there even in the current rate environment we are in.

The software I'm developing addresses the exact concerns you mentioned that are prevalent in existing platforms.Think of it as a focused environment designed for efficiency and efficacy in real estate networking.

You kind of have to get a feel of that environment.

Unless you come across an opportunity that has much better cashflow, I don't see a reason to get rid of a property that has decent cashflow with a low interest rate in the current environment.

Yes, a 13 will potentially allow for a cram down or lien strip but we aren't in that environment where liens can be stripped or shrunk due to value depreciation. 

But the 199A is scheduled to sunset in 2025 under the TCJA unless made permanent.It wouldn't be uncommon for some investors to only realize taxable income on 40-50% of their dividend distributions in today's current environment (I have seen this personally).You asked about fees, so one quick comment.

Today's environment I would think very tough.   

Just be sensible with your work environment and it will be fine.

As many have said, there is always a buyer for the right price, and especially in todays environment with such expensive debt, it is important to price correctly.
