With inflation, I've heard that it's best to collect debt secured in assets, but I want to know what y'all think of that statement?

Here’s a quick look at four areas that frequently present security issues in multifamily units, such as apartment and condo complexes:PARKING LOTS/GARAGESBe it a luxury model or basic transportation, motor vehicles are essential to many residents’ lives.

If they want to do short term financing then something like 10% down, 5% interest only payments for 2-3 years with cash out refinance if they want more cash up front to feel more secure!

That way our monthly rent was secured.

Lease Options aren't a bad idea (where they're legal), but I feel it's not really necessary in this current environment.

Unfortunately I do not get paid for this work, I can not charge it against their security deposit. 

If you're bringing in investors, be sure to break out their projected return from yours, and of course do the deal in a securities compliant manner.

Basic summary, I'm securing an off-market deal on a SFH that has a 10+ year tenant (on a month-to-month lease) who is paying well under market rent. 

investors that just got in the game post 2009  were spoiled in thinking that everything had to cash flow with minimum down and cash flow positive a lot.. when in reality in a strong market with good demand safe secure properties  minimum down break even is a great out come and many times a little bit negative while you wait for rents to inch up. .you make your money in appreciation and tax write offs and your tenant paying your mortgage for you..
