If you aren't afraid to cold call and hit up owners then you'll find success.

I work mainly in foreclosure auctions so a lot of unknowns and in the Seattle area market it is extremely hard to pivot exit strategies as rent to price ratios are so bad.   

in my personal experience, my credit union has been extremely valuable, as they offer better loan terms and better programs than a conventional bank.

For some of our loans we do give the option for an extension, but it is extremely expensive.

Through the same sheer luck and extreme determination we were able to secure some nice anchor tenants for the building.

I kept getting met with objections from realtors that are supposed to be on my side, which was extremely frustrating.

A partner and I are focusing on realtors, a probate list (cold emailing) updated once a month, D4D, and Craigslist.

Fast forward a few months and it starts to get cold here in North Florida.

Perspective: been managing Class A-D for over 25 years, so we've learned a thing or two - often the hard way.Our lease states:1) Rent due on first, with 5-day Grace Period2) Late on 6th3) Can charge daily late fee after 10th4) Is very specific that Grace Period can be rescinded if abused (defined in lease).We've learned to leave NOTHING vague and define everything EXTREMELY well so tenants and judges cannot misinterpret!

Overall, I actually drank more beer than whiskey in Ireland and discovered that there are some lighter lagers that I prefer over Guinness.One fun shock: after chatting with a few bartenders, I learned that Coors Light is extremely popular in Ireland, two bartenders told me it’s their best seller!
