Hey @Peice Livingston - to do a cash-out refinance a lender would like to know:Property Address:Purchase PricePurchase Date:Rehab Costs Invested:Current Value:Debt Owed: Your FICO Score:Is it rented, Y / N: 

It means nothing.Pay $5,000 to "Open the Door" and you have bought a black box of whatever the seller wants to provide (a paper application handed to you from a lender, a website address, etc...)When buying something like this and "Sales Fluff" is introduced into the conversation (vs. hard facts such as, a line of credit will be set up for $X 90 days after doing Y with Z lender, etc...) there is unusually a reason for the "Sales fluff".Ask for a copy of the contract and take the time to read it to see what you would actually get for your $5,000, and if the contract has "Sales fluff" in it--Buyer Beware.If there is no contract, or they balk at giving you an opportunity to read it (pressure you into signing now), it might not be such a good deal for you.And Sales fluff may be a red flag about other parts of the "Opportunity" also.Good Luck! 

If STNL and tenants pay the taxes it can still affect their ability to operate the business and be profitable with all in costs.For MTNL the CAM above base rents lots of single operator to mulit unit inline retail tenants cannot absorb high property taxes that pushes their all in rent with cam too high to stay open.

I can speak from experience getting my license at 20 y/o and it has benefited me well, although I am also an agent practicing real estate in my market.

Y family upstairs.

And I can't wait for some nerd in the comments to say, "well your purchase price was X and then maintenance/holding costs/interest you spent over the years was Y and numbers numbers numbers..."

A 15-y will accelerate your payment schedule so your payments won't decrease.

It worked in 2 instances where neighbor cam eto'o me and I bought.
