Underwriting has shifted to stress-test flat rents and rising expenses, especially in markets driven by real job growth.

If no buyers want it, the issue usually isn’t the contract, it’s that the deal wasn’t vetted well enough on the front end.I work closely with wholesalers on the lead generation and qualification side, and what I’ve seen is that when deals come from properly motivated sellers and are underwritten correctly, disposition becomes much easier and less stressful.

I would stress the bear and food safety issues more for future guests though,  save yourself and guests from any future damages. 

It would depend on your market but what I have seen is new construction was going up every phase but now has leveled off or decreased.  

They are more volatile:  They increase in value percentage wise more than other classes in boom times, and decrease in value more in difficult times than other classes.I have owned four condos, two residential and two commercial, for more than 30 years and have no regrets.

Btw, due to health issues my wife is getting a new job, less stress but bit less pay as well.

Charlotte is competitive, and deals that look fine at a high level often break once you stress-test rents, expenses, and capex under conservative assumptions.Before jumping into partnerships, it’s usually worth being very clear on your buy box, target leverage, and tolerance for execution risk within the exchange timeline.

I can't decrease it, but I can avoid adding to it. 

How are you stress-testing your deals given interest rate changes and possible price softening?

It is a lot easier said than done, but it's better to avoid the stress and cut your losses early on.
