Due to its uniqueness, I have had hard time pulling comps, making it more challenging to determine if hard money is an option (lender typically only covers 75% ARV) so do I need to convince them what the ARV is or would they have an appraiser determine ARV

@Justin Thorpe I’ll also chime in agreement: what makes the Bay Area unique is the scarcity of land, which does not exist in TX and other high growth markets.

It sounds like this "loophole" might be closed through PAL, but I'm hoping someone can clarify if that's the case or if there are any other unique ideas.

Each of these has their own unique benefits to offer, let me know if you have any additional questions!

These days I look for very specific information on how to resolve those unique challenges versus researching "how to analyze a deal".

I'm also no stranger to Quickbooks, because that's what I've used for decades.But, there are some unique details about R.E. that make me wonder if there's a better option besides Quickbooks.If a landlord holds multiple properties and each one is in its own LLC, you probably should use a separate Chart of Accounts for each LLC in order to avoid piercing the corporate veil.

It still seems like a stretch but they are pushing this vaccine hard.

@Jordan LepleyI’m actually located in the Cleveland market, I like it better than Akron but that is just my opinion.As far as using a conventional or FHA loan, you only have so many of those that you can get, so I would save them for the best of the best.I do a lot of non-recourse financing for my investors because I deal with a lot of overseas clients that cannot get conventional financing.It is always good to make your money stretch as far as you can, but do not get buried in debt to buy investment property.

Leverage your unique market to grow as an investor.
