Do the math: How much do you stand to lose in 3-4 months (timelines vary widely, depending on the state/market, but 3-4 months is certainly not crazy) of lost rent while pursuing the eviction?

First, liquidity is limited, so treat the buy-sell and transfer language as your “secondary market.”

I once met a homeowner facing foreclosure and jumped straight into the math — equity, arrears, options.

if you do the math, vacancy will eat into your total rent collected much more than a price drop.

If you’re just pulling cash without a clear plan or strong numbers then yeah you’re taking on extra risk.It’s less about timing the market and more about making sure the math works with today’s payments. 

This is simple math but the portal and reports are useful. 

@Brittney Yang first red flag is it doesn’t sound like he’s that interested in long term holds but the primary reason for partnership is expertise in renovation and secondary reason is balance sheet and income to help get financing.Regarding reason one, I would offer to compensate him for his time in assisting you and have a very clear scope of what that responsibility is.  

The math is definitely tight in a lot of zip codes right now—especially with retail prices, higher rates, and full PM fees.

Vanessa, your math looks solid and it is smart that you are thinking about risk before jumping in.

A typical securitization is around $100 million.Now consider the math: you could reach $100 million with 2,000 loans averaging $50,000 each, or with 400 loans averaging $250,000.
