as opposed to their residential counterparts. that's what i heard. 

I am a hands-on type of investor - I can do a a lot of projects myself, but I am a woman and I am not as 'physically' strong as my counterparts, yet I know how to get things done.

Like I said, call it the blind leading the blind, and I hope some of our more experienced counterparts hop on here to help us out...lolGood luck on your first deal.  

Other than liwering the rent and advertising on craigslist, I don't know what else to do from another state when I've hired counterparts to takee care of it for me.Anyone have any suggestions?

.* Actively listen, so your counterpart feels heard* Mirror them to keep them talking and continuing to feel heard* Use the late night FM DJ voice* Label their feelings* Anchor their emotions* Never use Why questions* Define an approaching deadline* Pivot to non-monetary terms* Establish a range and use odd numbers, so they seem calculated and immovable

It's not unusual, particularly if they're told they will be released soon.You can sign a contract electronically, by fax, in counterpart, etc while you are on vacation as long as it's included in the contract that signatures in that format are acceptable.You're trying to sell a co-op in a market that favors buyers, in what is historically one of the slowest times of the year, to a "rock solid" buyer that your broker procured.

I bet they know their counterpart here.

When and if a recession comes, I suspect that the multifamily commercial investors will get hit relatively much harder than their small multifamily and single family rental counterparts. 

The condo's for sale in associations that are not FHA approved, or unable to get FHA approval, tend to sit on the market longer and sell for significantly less than their FHA approved counterparts.

I plan to rehab the interiors of these units to fit in with their nearby counterpart SFH's.
