Given the way you’ve conducted yourself over the last few days, it wasn't easy to wait.

I own over 100 rental properties financed across many loans.  My bank only requires I have insurance for these properties without stipulation as to the level of coverage.  I have 80% co-insurance with replacement cost...

I know there are many tax benefits with real estate and want to take full advantage of my tax breaks to minimize my taxes. 

San Diego in 2026 isn’t a “list it and hope” market — it’s a strategy market.

Yes, interest rates (although the payments are interest only) and points are higher than for a bank, but the advantage is that good hard money lenders with whom you have a relationship will lend on properties that banks won't touch, have minimal underwriting, allow you to make what is essentially a cash offer to the seller, close quickly, and give you their input for your project along the way if you need it.

The assumption was simple: lock up the property now, rents will rise, values will continue climbing, and the numbers will eventually work themselves out.But a lot of markets have shifted since then.What we are seeing in many cases is a different reality:- Purchase prices have largely stalled in some areas- Insurance costs have jumped significantly- Property taxes have reset higher after sales- Maintenance and labor costs are up- Interest rates are much higher for anyone needing to refinanceFor buyers who entered deals with minimal equity and thin margins, that combination can create pressure quickly.Seller financing and low down payment structures can be useful tools, but they do not fix a property that was purchased at a price where the fundamentals never worked to begin with.

This timeframe gives enough time to chat individually but minimizes time waiting around.

@Keaton Vols, This can be a solid strategy to eliminate or minimize your tax.

We have around 10% down payment if needed but want to minimize the amount of cash we put into it.
