Flipping notes instead of properties seems like a quieter, more strategic way to profit in real estate.For those who’ve sold notes, how do you determine fair pricing and what platforms or networks do you trust most?

I prefer thicker, hard plastic tongue & grooves to paper/cardboard/rubber as they seem to stay locked together better over time. 

The home prices are lower but it seems like an area that will be growing in the upcoming years.

Duplex seems about right, of course depending on the items mentioned above. 

Currently analzing deals in Poinsietta Heights and around FTL but prices/taxes/insurance with the massive competition doesn't seem as appealing as I hoped from my pricelabs data.

I have 830 FICO, but The only hard money lender that seems to work with lower downs and rates is Easy Street Capital. 

Seems like there's been a lot of new properties completed in the past couple years and more on the way, so I don't think at the market level it's going to bounce back too fast.But although I think most deals might not be great right now, if you're able to invest at a really compelling price point and you don't have any occupancy issues out the gate, I'm sure you'd be fine.

If I gave the tenant 90 days’ notice prior to lease expiration and explained the rent is adjusting toward market because of improvements and general costs — does that seem fair and reasonable in your experience?  

We are in the process of opening a LOC on our Co-Op and seem to have hit a snag with their underwriting based on the financials of the building.

It seems like a very strategic move.You're spot on about building relationships—that's everything in this market.
