This applies both to single-family residences and multi-family buildings.Non-residential HVAC systems, such as those in office buildings, warehouses and shopping centers are eligible for bonus depreciation.

So, you say will I want to take some cash out using the 200k value but most programs will require you to wait some period of time from 3 months up to 12 months for conventional before you can use that 200k value to pull cash out.This seasoning does NOT apply to delayed financing as I mentioned in my post above.  

It would not surprise me if they were acquiring the paper and servicing rights to take an inside line on refi's for these customers if rates decline.Actually CFPB regs may NOT apply if the subject loans are investment or commercial property loans and not SFR owner occupied or consumer loans. 

I am very involved in our local real estate investor association and agree that in this central Florida market there are an over saturation of STRs as well.

Now, if they don't want to do that for whatever reason and don't have anybody to work with who would do that for you, I'd have to agree with you that they'd better invest at home rather than getting involved in something they don't understand.

From day one I treated my involvement in real estate as a real business.This means, I had an advertising budget, a lead generating and follow up process, a back end process and money source and above all an experienced mentor.  

So, an area might have been D class 20 years ago and is C class today in terms of what the property condition, crime etc show you BUT if the tenants still stigmatize the area in their mind then mostly D class tenants will be applying there because they have less choices.

The easiest of all the thing I've been involved in.

Yes, that is what I meant by securities, not sure what else that term applies to honestly.

This will allow you to get the sheriff involved immediately.If you are already past the notice period then you will probably have to follow whatever state laws are in place for the notification period and possibly the eviction process.
