I had a few concerns/questions I am hoping the BP community can help me out with:My plan is to take out a conventional loan with a 20 percent down payment. 

I can appreciate the concern about coffee and competition.

I was concerned about the budget so I went with the familiar contractor vs taking a chance on another unknown. 

When you have an OOS property with a reputable Turnkey provider (or a truly solid, reputable PM, if you go the DIY route and assemble your own team) it cuts out the possibility of driving by, checking on tenants, etc.

I was concerned that the seller wouldn’t repair it properly so my realtor suggested that we just take it off the purchase price.

The competition is getting tougher in those areas because it's growing in popularity which cuts into the previous profitability of those areas.

If you can not learn from networking with this group, you are probably not cut out for real estate investing.Hope to see you on Tuesday.

For those in growth mode, how do you counter the cap rate concern?

One of my bigger concern is not knowing how difficult and how long it takes to liquify a fund and have the money ready for the down payment?

My bigger concern is whether anyone knows of any problems/issues with cash then refi vs straight to mortgage.
