"Cupping" of this product is NOT indicative of a flooring problem.

Again choose one that has closed HUD deals previously4 That would indicate to me the property is in the extended period and all bids are opened daily mom-fri

Hey @Andrew Halbert - when I found myself in this situation a few years back I spoke to my hard money lender and he was happy to draft up a generic letter that indicated something along the lines of how I was in good financial standing with the lender and had access to any needed capital to complete purchase transactions.  

Those will be great indicators as to which markets to really focus on.

Do I want to take the time to explain to the broker (who is a residential real estate broker) and the sellers that their ask price cap rate is below the market cap rate, the #1 indicator that this deal will not benefit any buyer?

In that area the homeowners association documents will indicate if a community is short term rental friendly.

I looked at some previous posts, and they indicated anywhere from 4%-6%.

When I went for the one on one all of the financial information that I gave indicated that there is no way in h.e. double hockey sticks that I should be attempting to acquire additional debt at this moment.

Could this indicate that we are pumping another bubble?
