However, now, in year 16 of our example, it gets much better.

The common theme I’m seeing is “back to fundamentals” – more focus on DSCR, realistic exit timelines, and actually stress‑testing numbers instead of assuming everything goes right.For those borrowing or lending privately right now:How are you structuring deals so both sides feel protected (LTV, DSCR, covenants, reserves)?

Pull comps, estimate rehab costs, run the numbers on properties you see.

Quote from @Robert Beeman: I made this video this morning below in seeing this article.

I don't see any reason why a legimate, arms-length transaction could not be done.4.

Focus on building relationships with people who have done several deals, so you can see real examples and avoid common rookie mistakes.

For example lets say they have 100 Pads could someone buy like 10 off of them.

For example, the area I invest for long term rentals I grew up in the same town and used to ride my bike when I was a teenager all around the city.

For example, my wife could get a book, read it, and then do it.

For example, Nashville TN is getting a new stadium built.
