That's because the city won't calculate the actual amount till a structure is built, aka it's not just a plot of land anymore.This will obvious cause your property tax bill to go up and also your mortgage escrow account as well (sometimes these things can make your mortgage shoot up a few hundred a month). 

I also have a $50k line of credit I can tap into when needed that will grow as I keep growing the business.Right now my rent is about $1700 where I've been staying for over a year, but really wanting to trade that for a mortgage and start building that equity.

Our life is complicated and I work a complicated stressful job, but if we’re being honest, I also don’t have time for renters, but I somehow make it work and I personally think it pays off.Mtg: 1800Rent: 2900Owe: 200Rate: 4.5 I thinkSell Price: est. 450-460No other rentals except an in law suite on our current primaryFuture goals: would love to use this properly to buy other properties to get out of the corporate rat race. 

Like I mentioned in my previous post getting a PM who will actually manage your property properly will be very hard.

These sellers paid much less than what the going rate it today, likely have no mortgage or low interest rate mortgage and do not need to push rents to market value to cash flow.They get solid returns at their current rental values, have minimal headache with current tenants and they don't need to do major repairs to get their properties sold for a solid value. 

View it as a business expense like you do the mortgage. 

If you have a first mortgage at 95%, you’re going to need cash to build.  

With the current mortgage rate constraints affecting how many buyers are willing to enter the market we are seeing a lot of borrowers have success with the BRRRR strategy with plans to sell in the next 3-5 years when interest rates go down.Researching potential LTR and STR rental amounts and seeing if holding for a few years is a viable option is a good analysis to do well. 

Ironically, Taylor often only sent emails to just one of us, until she had multiple reminders.We obtained, as requested, payoff letters for our mortgages with the date of December 31st.

I started my career as a commercial banker a long time ago, but have been an independent mortgage broker for nearly a decade.
