Because the cost of roofs, ac units, water heaters and so on don’t care if you collect $600/mo in rent or $3,000/mo.  

They can take care of a lot of the monotonous tasks, and even do things like send leases, screen tenants, add rent charges, pay utility bills, the list goes on. 

This could lead to a huge tax bill and penalties.Think carefully before you do this.

Its business and you should conduct yourself in such a manner.I really don’t care what your kids would say because I am the person that takes care of this property.

I don't care if the market is up, down or sidewise, I'm still a buyer. 

Classes B and C are okay, although we will spend more time analyzing a Class C.

I've reached out to lenders here on Bigger Pockets- but their rates & terms seem high (DSCR or just not good terms)- I qualify for a conventional loan, but my DTI is almost maxed so why pay an extra 2-3% DSCR when I don't have too. 

Because parties to a transaction care about things OTHER THAN the price of service alone. 

PS been a CA RE broker since 77 I think.. and I dont sell RE any more but if I got back into working with the public ( I only sell properties i own).

To do a cash out refinance now with conventional financing, you have to wait until the loan being paid off is 12 months old!
