A George Foreman grill a family pack of chicken breast and frozen vegetables go a long way. it has to become a priority that you are willing to forgo convienances for.

If you find a STR deal, in Seattle or otherwise, you should pounce on it IF you have a solid contingency plan for what to do if tourism is frozen for 6 months... a year... or even a few years.

The areas by the Gulf have some high insurance premiums that are capping the prices... so not just mortgage rates.It would be interesting to see the distribution of the national numbers on new home starts, if they are clustered in TX.Anyway, I think perhaps with that much general "movement," the housing market in TX (its a massive state anyway), isn't entirely frozen like other markets. 

This is true now more than ever since eviction courts have shut down and evictions are frozen for COVID-19.

Hi there!  
We just recently got approved for a HELOC on our main residence in order to buy our income property. Unfortunately, the appraisal did not come back as high as we wanted it to and it looks like we are endi...

Then it was suddenly frozen one morning and, after an email to the address zillow provided, a voice message to the appropriate phone number, and a form filled out with exactly all the information they request, we get no response for almost a full business day.  

(foreclosure) Their "equity" is frozen and useless.Until equity is converted to something useful (into a loan or by selling the property) it doesn't do you any good.

Those positions will essentially be frozen as you will now be competing on the worlds stage. 

Christopher Brown,Financing for QSR really isn't frozen in most cases IF you are talking parent corporation backed by thousands of locations with strong credit and discloses financials.If borrower is weak for liquidity and net worth combined with a weak tenant that is a small franchisee that is almost impossible to fund right now.I have some lenders that might look at low LTV for QSR medium franchisee but borrower has to make like 500k or more a year from their job or business and give a personal guarantee on the loan.

Hi Karma,I am not saying owner finance with nothing down can't be done.I will say that it was much more prevalent in 2009,2010 when commercial markets were frozen and people couldn't sell because they didn't know where the bottom was.
