They cut out all but the best locations and were way more cautious.

It is fair to express your disappointment that they exceeded the cost target you gave them. 

You can buy a set of five for under $300, subscription for the recording software is $10 a month, then the cost of WiFi or hotspot.If you've already had a couple break-ins, you are obviously in a high-crime area.

So by using the Tardus “system” (which anyone can easily implement and which has been discussed for many years on BP), an additional $466 was earned at an increased risk.  

You can also ask the title company to offeer a "lean Fee Sheet" meaning "Cut the fat" and reduce the BS fee's.  

So, the additional cost to them is more negligible.

Those situations go bad more often than not, costing you money and the friendship.

It's been disappointing when the fed cuts caused increases in the 5yr rate (that our dscr loans are tied to).

Cost will be about $800 US.  9.  

With a Conventional Loan you can buy a SFH, Duplex, Triplex or Quadplex with as little as 5% Down if it is your primary residence as long as you have the intention of occupying one of the units for 1 year after closing escrow.This is the strategy I have personally implemented and have assisted many of my investor clients in doing the same. 20% Down is also beneficial as it keeps your payment low but it does limit your ability of buying more real estate faster.i would be more than happy to discuss the different strategies with you over the phone or in person.
