People have all kinds of situations they cannot deal with that come into play. 

While I’m comfortable with residential numbers, I’d love to connect with someone who can help me double-check the underwriting to ensure I’m navigating the transition to commercial correctly.Here is a quick snapshot of the deal:The Asset: 5 buildings (approx. 23,000 sq ft) sitting on 4.75 acres.The Price: $1.5M.The Terms: 3.5% interest-only seller financing.The Upside: A clear value-add play through rent stabilization and using the excess land.The 3.5% debt makes this a very compelling entry into the asset class.

I get "saving on cost" in theory - but I have seen that scenario play out in reality more often than not where the refi ulitmately made more sense (paying the refi cost than taking a higher converted rate).Confused on the quity access question?

I am in the same boat in Detroit tenants have not paid in 6 months, Trumps CDC eviction moratorium is still in play. my lawyer said it's just a waiting game at this point. the court here is seeing cases at a very slow rate. my tenants have reached out  to Michigan's Eviction Diversion Program but the program has not responded to me about anything. keep your head up !!

Use your own title company, send the contract and assignment terms early, and don’t play games with daisy chains.

We all know the standard real estate tax play: buy a rental, depreciate it over 27.5 years (residential) or 39 years (commercial), and hope for the best.But if you’re looking to scale your portfolio in 2026, waiting nearly 30 years to get your money back is a losing game.

We have seen this exact pattern play out in other regulated short term rental markets, and Austin is not immune to basic supply and demand mechanics.

Appreciation on this house in this area will play a huge role long term.

Columbus is great for equity plays and appreciation.

The sub-$160/sqft in Exeter is definitely eye-catching - you don't see that often in coastal NH.On the historic (1700s) construction question, I've seen this play out both ways.
