I do however completely agree with you that we’ll likely see a cut next month and that there are standard metrics and pieces of data that help us determine where the rate will go.

After two years, I identified a new set of problems, researched software, and determined Propertyware was the best fit for my needs.

Divide by 144 to determine monthly expense then multiply by 2 for the duplex.

Does the prepayment have to be determined before the lender locks in a rate, or is this something that can be negotiated afterwards.

The only issues that can come up with the appraisal is if the appraisers determines something in the property is not safe, or needs to be repairs making the appraisal "subject-to" certain repairs. 2.

Some do not allow access or inspections, and some will not have utilities turned on so its tough to determine what is and is not working.

He even said that I had a consumer mentally and that 25k or 40k was nothing in his mind..lol* Very few reviews online besides their website.

How much is your time and mental energy worth to you?

Here's my #1 dissatisfier in dealing with agents: Most have NO idea how to evaluate investment properties.I HATE when agents bring me a so-called "deal" without having first determined whether it actually makes sense financially.Then, when I do run the numbers and calculate a cash flow of $50/mo and a cash-on-cash return of 3%, I feel violated, like my time has been totally wasted.And, that's the last "deal" I'll ever consider from that agent!

It is definitely possible to self manage as others have pointed out, but you need to assess your personal situation and determine what is realistic for you.
