.: Hi BP Community 👋🏾I’m exploring sober living investing and came across the Sober Living Riches program by Andrew Lamb.

For smaller multifamily operators, here are a few alternatives that offer solid analytics without the CoStar/RealPage price tag: • Stessa – Free to start, and great for tracking income, expenses, and property performance.• AppFolio (Lite) – Has a smaller-operator version now with solid reporting and tenant tools.• Buildium – Very user-friendly for operators under 50–75 units, with strong accounting and management features.• REI Hub – Clean financial tracking, great for smaller portfolios.• Mashvisor or PropStream – Not management platforms, but excellent for rental comps and market data if you’re still analyzing deals. 

Lamb chops and Cingale Ragu.

That is pretty much the point of my post; since I only have experience with full-service PM, data from other investors’ experiences with other alternatives would be extremely helpful in doing such an analysis. 

Quote from @Brandon Lee: I’m learning about different financing options beyond banks.For those who have used alternative lending, what was the average timeline from application to closing?

I would be leading lambs to slaughter.

Like anything else this type of investment has some unique risks for both buyer and seller; however, in many circumstances they represent the best alternative for both parties.  

The tricky part would be the partnership itself.Another alternative would to see if the seller would be willing to provide you financing. 

This hasn't impacted all lenders.. so alternatives are available,. there are always ways to navigate short-term volatility.
