You can also provide multiple invoices to show no dramatic drops in usage, which would indicate the heat was still on.If the landlord doesn't have a bill, that may indicate the utility was off.

Excellent location in Mesa.I shopped around and I found a mortgage broker who was able to get me a 6.99% rate who took the loan to UWM (united wholesale mortgage).I negotiated a $15k seller concession I used for a 1-0 buy down so my rate for 1 year will be 5.99% and then revert to 6.99% for 30yrs. and then we used the rest of the concessions for closing costs. in 6 months or 12 months I will revisit to see if mortgage interest rates dropped significantly to justify a refinance to lock in a lower interest rate.part of the approval process for the Fannie Mae 5% mortgage is to make sure that i could afford this property and that i have good credit, my income is consistent and stable and it reflects that on my tax returns, I have sufficient capital reserves for the subject property and my other 10 Multifamily properties (6 months of PITI for the subject and then it's percentage based off of the loan amounts and how many properties you have)I agree, the more that government "helps" they therefore are increasing pricing.

After paying closing costs, title fees, appraisal, origination, underwriting, processing, legal and other fees, the typical refinance costs about 1.75 - 2.5% of the loan amount just in closing costs (obviously before people yell at me, this varies drastically by state, but having done loans all over the country I find this to be a pretty accurate estimate).  2) Keeping the average 2% cost in mind and the fact that people typically refinance when rates drop about .75% - 1% or more, I wanted to see if paying an extra point now when I was already paying all the closing costs to buy the rate down made sense. 1 point can get you between .5% - .625% off the rate depending on the days pricing and the coupon you are pricing. 

Contrast that to the bond market--the source of movement for all manner of interest rates--which frequently moves more than 8 times in any given second.In other words, the financial market is able to make its move well in advance of the Fed and that's a substantial part of the explanation for the drop in mortgage rates seen over the past year.

Here your hourly rate drops signifcantly, would it still be worth it?

I had a bit of realization yesterday and want to test the temperature, mainly for self managers and smaller PM's. 

It could be that a few dropped the ball:)

At the same time, the number of companies expecting to downsize has dropped to 37%, the lowest since 2021.This change could signal that the worst of the downsizing trend is behind us.

(i.e. 50/50 on the repair or drop the price or whatever).
