Many people were defeatist about the 6plex thing saying it wouldn't make sense because of DC's, and would just keep developing 4+1's without DC's. Removing development charges will certainly move the needle for sixplex developments, but as it stands, it is still more economical…

2 of the 5 homes I showed this morning were power of sales. One lender discounted the property to clear it out asap. The other lender wrote right on the listing that someone is getting a deal. Both will be setting new benchmarks to the downside.
