I have had a fair amount of recent success because I offer a pretty high rate of 11% secured by note and deed of trust on my houses in va and nc  but want to hear other peoples success stories besides local meetups.

I also get the added bonus of a bunch of travel points haha Is it possible to get this loan for an investment property?

I'm fairly confident from reading online we don't qualify for an exemption, but I'm trying to assess actual closing costs to trying and reduce them All details:Bought the house 2.5 years ago for $980K (left on mortgage $753K), we have a clause for an assumable mortgage for me to take over (I can keep same rate).

They eventually sent one out who visited the property, told the tenant that she would have to buy a bunch of parts, then charged my tenant $50 for visiting, but never submitted an estimate.

I accept them and mitigate the risk by (a) screening the animals, (b) having a solid set of rules that are quickly and fairly enforced, (c) regular inspections, especially for cat units, and (d) charging a monthly pet fee.Let's say I have five single-family homes.

Sure, some absolutely have benefited, S.Korea is a fair example BUT, one can argue it would just be "Korea" today if only MacArthur wasn't planning a run for President there after and ignored Chinas warning and offer of peace to stop with all but total victory, instead pushing to Chinese border, pulling them into it and literally loosing the entire north....    

However, as a matter of practice, its better to have fresh leases/rental agreements signed fairly often.

I have been with Fundrise since late 2017 but all Real Estate equity (~75%) and debt (~25%) with a fairly small investment that, according to their calculations, has returned gross ~7.5%pa (growth + dividends) over that 7 year period.So the above is not bad based on general risky asset long term annual returns, but the S&P 500 has returned (growth+ dividends reinvested) ~14.3% pa over that same period (source: using https://ofdollarsanddata.com/sp500-calculator/).

Hello,A job relocation to San Francisco CA early this year is making me ponder if I should be selling my owner occupied duplex in Jersey City and buy something in Berkeley CA due to its proximity to San Francisco and has some fairly decent schools  for my kids and also UC Berkeley .The low  2.5% interest rate on the Jersey City property turned into a golden chain but I think I am done with managing tenants and property and would like to get more into an Equity play.

So some grey area on what you may find reasonable and what perhaps some hopeful tenants find reasonable and be sure to not violate any fair housing law in setting occupancy standards, but I generally think most renters are reasonable on if 3 adults, they are looking for a 2 or 3 bed rental and not a studio.
