My husband doesn't sway easily, but when he did the research and the math, it was a no brainer. 

I am all for positive reinforcements (actually, I am not), but I agree with you, how about a dose of reality as the elixir we need.When people are still talking about BRRRR right now as if it's a no-brainer to do, I know they are listening to podcasts from 4 years ago.

Unless it's a multi member LLC it's a no brainer, a child could do it.

I have a nice hi-rise condo unit and I get tons of companies asking if I do MTRs for Visiting Nurses, Tech Professionals, etc.My place is positioned near a number of large DC Metro Hospitals, but since covid work-from-home and recent lift of Eviction Moritorium, I have had few people with jobs, but a ton of people recently evicted looking to rent my place.The one viable group - visiting nurses has been excluded because my HOA will not allow short or mid-term rentals (anything less than one year is a No-No).They claim too many transient tenants cause excessive wear and tear on the property and too many people using resources like the gym, or pool or common areas.I think that's a lot of horse waste!

Rockford seems to be improving, but what areas are a "no go" for buy and holds?

Our aim is to provide comprehensive guidance and resources.Refund Policy: We understand that a no-refund policy can be concerning.

Will agree with this, but will add that strawberry mansion is a no for me too.

It could be that the lease has a "no fault" termination provision that allows the landlord or tenant to terminate early without penalty.

If it were zer0 dollars out of pocket without increasing the loan amount, it seems like a no brainer, but increasing the loan has me skeptical.

You should have about $541,000 left over for a no down payment loan!
