Because of those requirements I've found credit unions and regional banks as a very good alternative - they can be more flexible and offer competitive interest rates.

I possess 20 years of successful sales experience and eager to use my skills to learn this industry.

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to the industry, I'm from Dallas, TX,  as many as David Greens, Brandon Turners, and Ashley and Tony's videos I watched i think I just about have the systems down pat, but I would like to find people in the industry to network with 

Hey @Jeffrey Smith I'm with the others in that we are bullish on this industry but since you asked about exit strategy I thought I would share ours with you since its a bit unique.  

If apartments similar to yours rent for $800/month and yours rent for $800 but include utilities, you've now turned your apartments into $900 or more per month and you're not competitive.

I worked in the apartment leasing industry and can tell you that as SOON as that tenant gives their 60 day notice, that apartment IMMEDIATELY goes back onto the market.

From single-family, to retail, to industrial it seems all segments are seeing peak prices with very few days on market (if any).

No income verification, competitive rates and 30 year amortizations.

Perhaps do some digging on other similar units that will more align with your property once the upgrades are complete, so you are competitive with rent rates. 

Hey Evan, yes it can be tough and competitive out there.
