I financed this deal on a 30yr conventional loan and I put 11,000 down with a 6.625% interest rate.

It started with Allen contacting me and the pass offs started from there.

Yes, that means he will have to give up his 3.5% rate (or whatever it is assuming lower then today rates) but it is what it is. 

There is no stock account that gives the leverage real estate does, at as low interest rate real estate does, at as low risk/ volatility real estate does. 

I will definitely keep in contact!

We've been able to rent properties pretty quickly, just as long as the rental rate is appropriate!

The tax paid from your lending proceeds should be the equivalent of your tax rate I would think.

If it is someone you know you can give them a straight return as if its a loan - can provide a lower interest rate to provide upside - it really depends on the lender and what are they concerned with and what is their risk profile. 

Looking at this past week's CMI, it's interesting to see the buyer/seller positioning in the SE-ish area compared to the NW-ish area with rates high 6's in JanuaryStill bullish on W/NW future demand due to TSMC factory and other companies (dashboard snapshot below) but time will tell.

I see this making it hard to scale.question: how come your rate is so poor?
