The better the rates, lenders generally want to see more experience, higher credit, occupancy and DSCR requirements. 

I wanted to see if anyone has experience with or owns any properties with knob and tube wiring and what I should do.

I am starting to realize there has been a significant amount of consolidation in the space by private equity and other institutional investors. 3) From research it also seems like getting financing can be difficult without prior experience in the space.

I’d really appreciate the opportunity to learn from those with experience.

If we were heading for a crash, prices wouldn’t be holding steady like that.Now, let me tell you from my own experience—I own 32 properties, and here’s how things have played out:15 have dropped about 20% in value (mostly in areas where demand cooled off).10 have stayed flat, meaning no loss or gain.7 have actually gone up in price, which proves that not everything is crashing—some pockets are still appreciating.And I don’t touch condos.

Actual experience I'll listen to.

I personally do not have experience managing rentals.

My vision for CountOnCam LLC is to be a company that would like to provide a shared housing experience for women and children, immigrants, and low income families.

I have no experience in those countries but I do in South Africa with there VAT. 

Your experience reminds me to manage the portfolio well (i.e. sell losers) and to be patient.
