Theresa, For now I've about maxed out on buying rental properties. So I thought I should as least take the offer and say on some interest. 


@Joe Villeneuve


Wow you really make lots of sense the way you break things down. Ok now

if you don't mind what about one this situation. I'm currently buying 3

properties and own 1(1 is paid off in full that I have been pulling the

equity out of) and I'm in the process of buying a 4th and then I will

have to be done for awhile (dang this is SO addicting) I am inheriting

$20K so far from my father's estate. One of the 4 properties is the

current place I live in. It's a Duplex and I live in the smaller side of

the property and my daughter and her family live on the other side. The

mortgage payment is $1046.32 and my daughter pays $650 of that. I pay

the rest. Since her rent payment will never get the investment property

paid off should I throw the $20K on that property? And put even more on

the loan as I can? With soon having 4 loans going I'm pretty much down

buying for the moment. We currently live in 1 property, short term rent 2

of the properties and the 4th property we are buying we are inheriting a

long term tenant so will long term rent for now until the tenant leaves

then we will short term rent it. I think I have pushed my limit with

what we can get from our credit union. And with the 4th property costing

more than we have planned I offered to put $75K down on it. (the

proceeds from a property I sold recently) Not sure if I should have done

that but it already set to be paid. I would appreciate your advice!


Update: Deal from credit union!

Hi

If you looked to do a $20,000 paydown on the property I can look to get a rate Modification approved from the current 4.87% down to 3.7%. We do have a mandatory $350 modification fee but based on the rate change you would likely make that up in a couple of months.

Please let me know if you would like me to look at doing so.

So should I take their deal? This was a property I purchased approx a year ago.

Jay C. I'm in the process of buying an investment property now with a 3.6% interest rate! Just 2 years ago I had a property where I was paying 5.87% for an interest rate until I sold it this year. Huge difference. I have gotten as low as 3.5% and that was on a property we purchased in April.

Hi I'm in the process of purchasing a single family home that has a tenant living there. We would like to keep the tenant and we have been told they want to stay. BUT we want to ditch the management company  the current owner is using as rent direct with the tenant. Is the seller responsible for letting the management company go? Just wondering what is going to happen with the tenant at closing. This will be our first time long term renting. We would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Oh and we have a list of things we want to do to the outside of the property. But hopefully we can do just do that with the tenants there.
Marcus, Actually we would like to keep the current tenant for awhile. And they have said they want to stay. We are buying the house to Short term rent it but thought for now while things are getting cancelled to just keep the long term tenant in there for now. The rent is on a higher dollar level so I don't think it would be easy to find someone quick. The current owner is using a property manager and we want to go direct with the tenants. Once the property sells the contract with the current owner and their property manager cancels out right? Then we immediately approach the tenants right? The current owner has about 35 long term rentals and is buying and selling properties all the time so their property management company should be used to this happening with him.

Corina, Ok I'll check into Wisconsin Legal Blank. Or I should I work with my attorney who handles Real Estate matters?

I use the Nest/Yale locks in my short term rentals and love them!

HI I'm becoming a first time long term landlord in WI. (We short rent 2 properties now) The house we are purchasing is going to come with a month to month. The current owner is using a property manager. I would like to deal direct with the tenant. Is there a way I can get a lease for my state without having to buy one? I would appreciate any help! Thanks, Tracy
