Like @Christopher Phillips stated before, the only direction interest rates can make a decent leap is up and we already know that that is going to happen this year sometime.

@Paul AnthonyI could not agree more with what @Christopher Phillips said.  

Hello @Christopher Abernathy - myself or my team can certainly help with how to read it, and give you at least some tips on how you can use it for go / no go decisions.

@Christopher Gilbert, I like your idea to exploit regional differences in return by buying elsewhere for a better return.  

@Christopher Giannino to bring it up to code, i would have to redo the position of the windows.

@Christopher B. the 4 units will have to be evaluated using comps because that's what the appraiser will have to do if you go to refinance it using a conventional/FHA loan.If you don't have enough comps, you can do one of 3 things:1) extend the radius2) look at singles/duplexes in the area and extrapolate based on price per unit where the more units you have in the property, the lower the price per door3) Extend the period of time you're searching to a full year or even two years back.The 5+ units are held to a commercial appraisal rules and it will be income based.

@Christopher PhillipsI'm looking to invest in the states and most of your points are wrong1) it takes a week to get approved for a mortgage in Canada compared to what 4-8 weeks or more in the states.2) our dollar is lower then the states so wheres the savings on currency3) i'm not sure about the taxes yet as i don't have a US investment property to compare to mine in Canada4) Foreigners buy houses for their Kids to go to school all over the world, not just in the US.
