Anyone that is looking at your assets is always going to need to factor in property management, so you can show that as a real expense (and really make it as high or low as you want).I work in a vertically integrated real estate and development company, and I cannot imagine how things would run if we did not have an internal property management company that essentially works for the other companies but also stands on its own.

They wrote me Commercial policies with high limits....only $100 mo roughly, never had a problem.I would just ask the company that handles your current home's insurance....some will do STR insurance, some won't.

I’ve seen Windsor hills and it looks nice, hoa seems high though.

Off street parking is typically more important for high end/expensive rentals.

Highly recommend @Lien Vuong she commented below and has helped a lot of our clients start of expand their investment property portfolio. 

If you already have a high interest rate, consider a cash-out refinance with a fixed rate rather than a HELOC.A third option could be to sell.

My income doesn’t show itself as being very high, but I have a relatively large amount of cash to put down.

Some of the national data sites have pricing suggestions that run both high and low.

It's definitely possible to get a loan as a foreigner but the rates will be high(er) and the downpayment required will be as well.

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.
