Howzit Don!

Welcome to BP! I own in Ohio as well (Dayton). Surprised that your property doubled! Dayton is not much of a market for appreciation, but the rents are solid and allow for decent cash flow. I’m always interested in networking with other investors.

Aloha 🤙🏽

@Andrew Postell all homes are on a 30 year loan. The Dayton market definitely doesn’t appreciate much so not much equity to pull there. I was hoping to lower my monthly while raising rent back to current market rates (recently vacated from a 2 year lease).

Thank you all for your time. I appreciate all your input 🙏🏽🤙🏽

Aloha BP’ers!

As many of you already know of interest rates lowering (as low as 3.75%). I’m wanting to know if now is a good time to consider refinancing? I have 4 properties in Dayton Ohio — 3 of them currently @ 4.25% and 1 @ 3.875%. I’ve heard it may be easier to go through a credit union rather than my current bank (old fort bank). It was also brought to my attention that I may be able to package them all together to try and get a better rate. Homes have been owned for 3+ years now, I have good credit (780-800) and stable income. Also, what kind of costs would I be looking at if I do go through with the refi?

Would appreciate any strategies, advice and credit union recommendations.

Thank you in advance + appreciate your time!

Looking for advice on canceling or possibly selling my parents timeshare (Diamond Resorts Timeshare). I’ve done some surface level research and know that you can pay third-party services, but wondering if I can outright cancel due to medical reasons for my dad (cancer) who is too weak to travel. Thanks in-advance 🤙🏽

Aloha BP! Trying to sell a 3/1 in Centerville, OH. Originally asking $152k for wiggle room, buyer offered $145k cash. My realtor / manager is pretty adamant about taking the buyer as other buyers may be FHA and could take longer, etc. We countered back at 149k, buyer countered @ 146k, I accepted but now..... Buyer is asking that if the appraisal comes in low, I split the difference between appraisal and the purchase price. Context of situation is I’ve decided to sell and 1031 exchange in hopes to buy a 3/2 to further invest (buy/hold). 2 Bathrooms tend to rent out better. This particular house is also septic and not sewer. I bought 2 years ago for 133k. What I want to know is: 1. Are there any things I can counter with or have buyer cover (closing, taxes, fees, etc)? This is starting to feel one-sided. 2. Is this a reasonable deal? Am I getting caught up with what might be a matter of a few thousand? (Still a lot of money to me, btw). 3. Does the buyer paying cash really make it that much better that I come down and agree to all his/her demands? Is it a buyers market in Ohio, now?!?! Any experience and sound advice wanted. Thank you in advance 🙏🏽 Aloha🤙🏽 Laine

Trade piloting classes, brah! Or even better start flying to neighbor islands set up boots on the ground / networks. Just maybe not the big island 😬

Jared H. Are you currently investing in Redding? My wife is from there and we visit a lot. Very interested in possibly investing near Simpson University and bethel church as both attract a lot of visitors.

Howzit Andrew! Welcome to BP! Definitely some good people and content on here. Congrats on the baby on the way! I got one coming in October as well, but this one’s #4 for me. Stoked. Love to surf and always down to network and meet like-minded people. Not sure what the forum rules are for emails or number, but you can hit me up on goldenstatesurf.com
