But I predict it will follow the same path as biconnect.

To my knowledge, it's primarily a single-annual indicator meaning the cash flow is annualized and only for one year, whereas IRR takes values over several years (5-10 on average in my experience).I use CoC all the time, rarely ever use IRR because it can be hard to predict income multiple years out but I recently met someone who is religious about NPV & IRR.

Our lives are simply not long enough to let timelines of cycles, of which we can not predict, to be the driving force in our investment decisions.

Personally I like longer renewals because it's more predictable as to when I may have to turns. 

Section D1-4.1, Information Relating to Transfers of Ownership Applicable to All Mortgage LoansD1-4.1-01, Determining Whether a Transfer of Ownership Is Permitted (11/12/2014)[...]D1-4.1-02, Allowable Exemptions Due to the Type of TransferA transfer of the property [...] to [...] a limited liability company (LLC), provided that: the mortgage loan was purchased or scuritized by Fannie Mae on or after June 1, 2016, and the LLC is controlled by the original borrower or the original borrower owns a majority interest in the LLC, and if the transfer results in a permitted change of occupancy type to an investment property, such change does not violate the security instrument (for example, the 12 month occupancy requirement for a principal residence).Note: The servicer must notify the borrower that a property transferred to an LLC must be transferred back to a natural person prior to any subsequent refinance application in order to meet Fannie Mae’s Selling Guide underwriting requirements.

Lowest rates (fixed) and longest amortization equal lowest payments and highest predictability, but also longest pay off - 30 years.

The miscellaneous prediction seems a bit low but if the property is in good condition and you have quality tenets then I think your in a good position.

I would weight the pros and cons and determine what best helps you reach your goals and manage risk.Pros:-30 year fixed rate mortgage available if <4 units - lowers your risk and helps you predict/manage cash flow when rates are on the rise.  

Unfortunately, this job requires a lot of travel, stress, and no predictability.  

( which you can find out either from a realtor or an appraiser ( i would trust the appraiser more). so if the cost of work does not add a lot more to the NOI to raise the value past what you are spending, then it's not worth doing, unless you can predict the future and know that the value of the property will appreciate in that area and you can make money on the back end when you sell.
