If you have not put them into service yet then you may want to hurry up and do that otherwise you’ll have to wait until next year.

Those are all good resources you mentioned.

Wait a couple of years and use your investment knowledge/experience along with your equity to invest in other properties i.e. those located in less expensive markets.All the best!

Hi Nick, as mentioned before if you put a greater deposit down, you could get a better rate as a result. 

Your second question is in line with what I mentioned above you need to test, test, and continue to test.

If risks feel too high, consider waiting until your live-in flip is complete and your position is stronger.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

If we are talking rental properties, then I completely agree with B, C, and D that he mentions.

What I did find is that as a builder in eastern tennessee, I could build STR cabins for less than 70% LTV so that I could effectively BRRR my way into growth without coming out of pocket for a down payment.Now it does take a lot more cash to do because as a builder I have to front a lot of money at times (land, permits, each stage of construction while I'm waiting on the draw). 

However, as @Chad Hale mentioned, only if you can afford it - meaning both financially and mentally (e.g. how stable are both of your jobs, how long will it take you or your husband to find a replacement job, how much you have in reserves, and whether you guys are in a position to withstand that mental stress, etc.)When you mention 8k monthly, I am assuming that's net profit?
