I’m really a pretty nice guy. I’ve met hundreds of you in person and spoken to a few thousand more prospects/investors by phone or on Zoom. So, hopefully, most of you agree. 
But as I write this, I’m a bit miffed. You see, our Wellings Capital team is like family. We love and care for each other. So, I hate to see anyone on our team taken advantage of. But it feels like that’s what happened here. 
Our team recently spent over five weeks heads-down on what should have been a straightforward preferred equity investment. I did the due diligence trip in the fall. It was a beautiful mobile home park, and we were eager to add it to our investment portfolio.

In his recent article, BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench did a great job enumerating all the reasons why multifamily is in the difficult position it’s in. If he had written these same things a year ago, I wouldn’t be writing this rebuttal—I would have simply said, “Ditto.”  
But I don’t believe that the picture he has painted is an accurate reflection of where things are headed. Here’s why.

1313 - J Scott Rebuttal to Scott Trench: Multifamily Will Be Fine by J Scott

Most investment strategies touted by gurus involve first buying a course to learn their strategy to get rich in real estate. While subject-to deals, wholesaling, syndicating, BRRRRing, Airbnb arbitrage, and fix and flipping, when done correctly, have undoubtedly been ways to make money, they all involve an element of risk or hard work to find deals. 
There’s another way. This blueprint is for the risk-averse, those working full-time, interested in the tried-and-true investing methods, and satisfied with growing their portfolio and wealth over time.

1312 - Here’s the Blueprint to Financial Freedom Today—Even When Mortgage Rates Are High by Jeff Vasishta

If, like me, you check mortgage interest rates like an expectant parent checks their wife’s contractions, you doubtless will have analyzed every type of loan product in an attempt to inch the currently high rates down. 
Famed financial guru Suze Orman recently appeared on CNN extolling the virtues of an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). But to many American homebuyers, mentioning an ARM is like the Ghost of Christmas Past returning to haunt us once more: Weren’t ARMs partly to blame for the 2008 financial crash? 
ARMs were derided in 2008 because many Americans got into financial trouble. Once their interest rates adjusted upward after three, five, or seven years, borrowers could not refinance down to a lower rate and fell into foreclosure. So why is Orman—whose monetary advice tends to be conservative—suggesting we go ice skating on a financial frozen lake?

1311 - Are Adjustable Rate Mortgages a Lifeline for Lower Rates? Or the Most Dangerous Thing You Could Do? By Jeff Vasishta

There is no right or wrong way to invest in real estate. All that matters is that you’re comfortable with your strategy and positioned to generate a positive return on investment (ROI). However, it never hurts to compare all your options—and that means taking a closer look at short-term vs. long-term real estate investing.

1310 - Short Term vs Long Term Real Estate Investing by Chris Bibey

When you’re talking to real estate investors, they’ll often tell you how many doors they own, meaning how many rental units they have in their portfolio. Stating door numbers, however, can often be misleading. Generally, the real metric to keep track of is cash flow because, after all, profitability is what counts in any business, right? 
Sometimes, though, the two can get conflated, and on occasion, owning just a few doors, irrespective of cash flow, can be a good strategy for building long-term wealth.
