Will refinance if rates go down in the future. 

@Kelly Taylor If you are going to invest more in RE, wait until you have released losses to do the Roth conversion.

network network network. anywhere there is one in your area go and meet someone and follow up is key after that. there are many good apps to find local RE events

I was hoping to avoid doing that in the future.

My favorite ones (as a Contractor) are those like : "How much will it cost to re-wire my entire house?"....."...

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.  

I am starting out and planning to make my first RE investment in the Q1 2025.

The re-appraisals though give you a real big jump.

You must give him this letter in writing, or certified mail, or tape the letter on his door.  2.
