If you refinance later remember that refinancing is not free.

Staggered refinancing, rather than refinancing all at once, allows you to take advantage of favorable terms as they become available.

However, I have a few concerns:Pros:Living condition: 1400 sqft → 1700 sqft with some boutique featuresThe rental market seems good in this area.Another property is added to my existing real estate portfolio, which currently includes two other properties.Cons:Interest rate: 7% - No guarantee of decreasing the rate, which means there might be no opportunity for refinancing in the future.The current home is too new to be rented out.People often say not to buy property in Chicago due to high taxes and low appreciation.There’s no necessity of moving since I have a decent primary home.Any professional advice would be helpful. 

I flipped that house in 7 months and refinanced it and made right at 130k if i remember correctly.

Some big ones that you guys can talk about before getting lawyers/CPAs involved to see if you are in agreement are things like identifying key decision rights and determine who has those if there is a disagreement (leasing decisions, refinancing, sale, choosing a property manager, scope of capex and renovations, etc) and determining profit/distribution splits.

Look into Government and Local Programs: Check if you qualify for SBA or local economic development programs that offer lower-rate refinancing options.4.

Our first DEEP value add multifamily project here in Radford, VA just stabilized and refinanced out of the 12 month construction loan. 6 unit apartment building all 2x1 near Radford Campus.

buying now with a $100K reduction in a buyer's market, the real estate market is dynamic, and staying flexible with options like refinancing can help you navigate changes effectively.

.- Assuming a 12% HML with a 3% origination fee held for 4 months, with a 30-year cash out refinance at 70% LTV and 7% interest rate, where the property stabilizes two months after refinancing (6 months after purchasing), you would (i) nearly breakeven on the cash out refinance and would generate $455 in monthly net cash flow in year 1, increasing annually, assuming you rent for $7,000 in year 1 and increase rent 4% YoY.- See below and let me know if you would like me to send you a copy.

**Time and Effort**: The buy and hold strategy is less time-intensive, allowing me to focus on managing and optimizing rental income rather than undertaking extensive renovations and refinancing processes.That being said, I am interested in trying the BRRRR method in the future.At the time of purchase, I lacked the skills and knowledge necessary to attempt the BRRRR method without exposing myself to risks I was not prepared for.Hope that answered your questions.
