Hello All, I have a client asking if they could buy a portfolio of 5 properties (at a "packaged deal" rate) and sell off two of them to recoup some of the initial down money needed to buy them. 

* Increased institutional competition in value-add and workforce housing sectors*  Possible shifts in Bridge’s investment strategy under Apollo’s leadership*  A strong signal that big money still sees CRE as a solid long-term playFor those navigating today’s market, aligning with capital trends and understanding where institutional investors are placing their bets is crucial.

However, past performance of appreciation is not necessarily indicative of future gains due to variables within each market.

One unit is remodeled and empty and the other is not and has tenants paying way under fair market value ($700). 

What market are you in? 

This means having to take a chance and take the property off the market for 2 weeksOption 2- Accept the offer with a provision that allows you to continue to market the property, knowing that there's a chance FHA may not fund the deal. 

From both a real estate and STR perspective, the key to success will be choosing the right market first.

Plenty of comps and market data to support second/third house claim.

One year after I used that property to pull a HELOC and this year used that money to purchase an off market 4 family property in Clinton for well under market value, which I just recently finished all of the repairs and upgrades on.
