Post: Getting a Little Nervous...

I am currently working with them, not sure if I will continue, as there has been some unfortunate issues with the LO out for a week, then their license in Illinois went through the renewal process. Which things happen but I am the one that has to communicate/ reach out to them. I think they don't understand that, it is important to reach out to clients when you say you are going to even if you don't have any updates.
Post: Should Loan Originators Know If You're Going to be Approved

I have a feeling, and I could be wrong, that Loan Originators have a good sense of whether you'll be approved for a mortgage loan or refinance. When they think you probably won't get approved, they still proceed and hope the underwriter will be okay with it. Am I missing something?

@Irving Rivera i'm not someone that can offer you any kind of service but I can tell you that I have a property in North Lawndale, and it truly is block by block. The block where I have my property is very quiet. Everyone knows each other but two blocks west. I probably wouldn't want to invest. It may not be the greatest way of doing things, but I have to be comfortable spending time there if I am going to invest in a neighborhood.
What are cashout refi rates looking like on primary residential these days? Anyone doing 85% LTV?

@Elvin William I am in classes, B, C, D and I would rather not be in D, it came with a lot of headaches but I finally stabilized it . It's true what everyone says, they don't take care of the units and are the ones that pay late.

Your repairs, supplies, and maintenance look excellent. They are so low that it appears you had no turnover and little to no R&M. For most of us, that situation would be a year of very high profitability. On the other hand, insurance and mortgage interest are very high...interest is 50% of rental income.
Mike, I just took a look, in case there is a typo from my CPA, not sure but if it were, instead of 23,000 its suppose to be 13,000, will I owe more in taxes, as I will owe 10 k for the year already, I have a W-2 job.
Yes, there was no turnover and everything is pretty new. It's an FHA, so it was 3.5% down and my interest rate at 3.37%

Thank you, all of you! so in the eyes of an underwriter, when I take out my next loan, will they see this as a loss? My other properties, showed a profit after depreciation, so overall, I was profitable for the year. Thanks a bunch
