Strong jobs reports had a larger effect on the 10 year treasury, followed by strong retail sales numbers, followed by EU inflation numbers, then followed by election results but honestly election results only affected rates for a couple of days.Lots of pressure on treasuries from the level of debt the US is carrying, but remember the Fed is also still doing quantitative tightening (while cutting rates) which is additional upward pressure on rates.

The highest cash flowing place I found so far is a duplex that's a 3/1 and a 2/1, and there's an additional standalone home on the property that's a 3/1.

In addition the new company does not do Solo 401K any longer.

Partner Driven and Traci Stephens recognized this as a low-risk deal with high potential for a rapid turnaround, making it a perfect addition to our portfolio.

These additions are a practical way to maximize returns without acquiring new properties.Vacation Rentals: An oversupply has shifted many owners from short-term to long-term rental strategies.

In addition, you will not be relying on the legislature to continue to protect safe unpermitted units.  

I was shown about a handful of their holdings in the Houston, Memphis, and Little Rock markets, but the cash flow and CoC returns were less than $100 per month and 2-4% after factoring in additional expenses like 7% vacancy and 10% maintenance per month to go along with 20% down and conventional mortgage.

I definitely am leaning toward the first application being the one for me, and I appreciate the advice to make sure it is a good tenant in addition to just being a flesh and bones human who (might) pay me the rent on time.One of the advices I read above was to be a bit less discerning perhaps and get someone in the door for 6 months at a reduced rate, and then find my golden tenant in the summer.

This is correct, but that .5% is IN ADDITION to all the other closing costs associated with a refinance (Title/Escrow Fees, prepaids, and depending on the bank, Underwriting / processor costs) - so in reality it can be a little more expensive to refinance with IRRRLs.

It will protect you for cheaper without the additional complexity.
