Whether it’s dealing with difficult tenants, endless paperwork, chasing contractors, or the emotional rollercoaster of deals falling apart at the last minute, there’s always something that makes you question your sanity.Real estate also isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme.

Quote from @Dereck Olson: Hi Nicholas,  Just a thought from the possible tenant's perspective, but filling out a prequalification form and/or providing personal information before they have even seen a place and know if they will be interested in living in the property might be a bit too much to ask. 

Here is the latest example from yesterdayThis is how they advertise it, $180,000“If you’re looking for a great investment, with great bones and endless possibilities, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath gem in New Braunfels is it!

This sub-market has so many natural family friendly attractions such as Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, Lake Arrowhead, breath taking hikes, endless historic and scenic marvels, and it is just east of the Shenandoah River.

Many see these as red flags, assuming they will slow down the deal, increase costs, or cause endless headaches.

My question is, what is the possibility of getting a loan against the land we own to fund a flip?

While national players will be more diversified, geographically and larger numbers, target payoffs should be withing the lease term, but not always possible with regional or national stores.The only tool an individual investor has in considering one store is knowoing the market and if in a small town, the expected growth in the area (which can be zip!).

That means low rents, constant repairs, and endless deferred maintenance.New construction STRs/MTRs appraise higher per sq ft, rent for more, and avoid tenant headaches.Columbus is undervalued, making it a goldmine for build-to-rent and spec home investors.Old homes = low returns.
