You may need to clarify this a little more. Are they saying you don't have enough equity in the house to do a cash out refi? If that is the case, it may not be within their thresholds to take cash out of it as you don't get 100% of the equity. 

Quote from @Kristi K.:

I’m surprised that BP is letting these kind of advertisements be put out on their platform. It just proves that everybody’s in it for the money.

No advertising at all. I’m not even a lender. Its great awareness for investors to know products coming.

Seems pretty high to me. I had 15 windows replaced including 1 half-moon shaped custom window and paid about $15,000 for windows and install.

This will be huge for house hackers out there. 95%LTV on 2-4 unit properties. Set to release on Nov 18th. Keep an eye on this.

There is no such thing as a bad time to invest especially if you are planning to buy and hold.

The Lehigh Valley real estate market is one of the hottest in the Country. I am not familiar with Trenton NJ, but other parts of NJ you can't compare the valley to. I grew up in Dover NJ myself. Easton is a great location and is a commuter location due to its proximity to NJ.

I feel the numbers could be accurate and I agree there will not be much of a monthly cash flow. The goal of buy and hold though is just that. Don't think immediate, think 5 year, 10 year, 20 year. Will that property be cash flowing then? Absolutely! Will you have equity? Absolutely. Look for opportunities to reduce expense to get more cash flow out the fence. 

I am from the Lehigh Valley and would love to discuss further if you want. Feel free to connect with me.
