By year two, he refinanced to lower his rate and dramatically increased his cash flow.

It is in a northern MI Downtown area (opp zone) in a county seat with 2 hospitals, had it re-zoned to mixed use, and is considered blighted which makes it eligible for MEDC funding of up to 50% of project cost.It is 8k sqft (4,000 each level) with the lower level being a walkout (top level is street level with sloped drive down to the rear of the building).

Hello Vivian, there are a lot of opportunities to invest in Tulum downtown, the beaches are occupied only by hotels and restaurants, this is the best time to invest in a pre construction unit at lower price than the finished units with a difference of 25 to 30% bellow market price, check this website to view some opportunities www.tulumrealty.net

Big picture, however, I am building a plan and team to invest in strong markets with lower entry prices to BRRRR 5+ unit multi families.

While cashing out more equity might seem appealing, it will result in a lower cash-on-cash return due to the higher rate and LTV.

Obviously right now is a lower valuation, but there is always ways to take advantage of the currency spread. 

I mean look at all the MF deals go sideways big time  by flushing those out on BP we find many were done because of keep up with the Jones offering highest return possible and to do that took on the most aggressive debt stances and proforma s of caps lower and rents rising and or refis in the offing.. now we see that in hindsight those structures are not working given that rates rose cap rates rose ( instead of fall( and rents are flat or falling)..

So, you might only have 3-4 outlets in the room when you are done instead of 5 but you have upgraded the electrical in the room at a lower price point.
