Ok, since we source the vast majority of our capital from banks, let's test your theory:• Speed when opportunities arise - agreed that hard money / private lending has an absolute  advantage here• Creative financing solutions - our construction loans from the bank are pretty darn good;  "creative" strategies always seem to be more risky than a bank loan;  this one is borderline • Consistent access to capital - if you have a debt cap with a bank, no issue• A partner that understands your strategy - the bank VPs we work with understand our strategy as well as anyoneNow let's add a few line items:No points - bank winsNo last minute delayed or dropped financing at closing - bank winsNo scams - I read about a lending scam on this board routinely - I've never heard of a legit bank scamming money on a loan (although charging excessive fees, sure) - bank winsWould I borrow from a hard money lender? 

I can walk you through all things coliving in the ATL metro and should be able to answer the vast majority of your questions.

This range is the kind of mid-field.

Hi everyone,I’m currently based in Budapest, Hungary and have been analyzing local residential rental properties from a buy-to-let investment perspective.One thing that stood out to me is that in several central districts of Budapest, it’s still possible to acquire a 1–2 bedroom apartment for around 40M–50M HUF (~$105K–$130K USD), depending on condition and location.Long-term rental rates for similar units are currently ranging between 280,000–350,000 HUF per month (€700–€900), especially in areas with strong demand from young professionals and the international expat community.This would put gross rental yields in the range of approximately 7%–9%, which seems noticeably higher than what many investors are currently seeing in major U.S. metro areas.Of course, there are other considerations when investing internationally — legal procedures, property management, tenant relations, etc.Out of curiosity:Has anyone here explored residential real estate opportunities in Central or Eastern Europe as a way to diversify geographically while maintaining cash flow?

The $6K in freestanding appliances (range, fridge, dishwasher, washer/dryer) are considered tangible personal property.

The vast majority of agents do not have a lot of expertise with investments specifically.

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

The listing prices range from $205-$239k.

Some secondary and mid sized markets offer solid cash flowing assets in that price range if the fundamentals make sense.
