Those who also invested in out commercial property equity real estate fund should be able to offset any decrease in value of the note portfolio with increase in value with the equity portfolio.

Our goal now is to look at non-monster house 5+ units that we can raise revenue/decrease expenses and take advantage of cap rate when we refinance.

I wouldn't recommend credit cards as that will mess up your utilization rate and could decrease your credit score making it harder or impossible to refi out

@Dave Spooner Absolutely, the potential of decreased turnover from having a more desirable up to date property can also have a large impact on consistent cash flow!

Of course, to do more closings without increasing the amount of work which equals the incremental cost of the closings, you have to decrease the work and attentiveness applied to each closing, increasing the risk of an error, which appears to have happened in your daughter's case.To answer your second question, assuming your daughter is insured under a valid title policy and also assuming there isn't an exception or exclusion to coverage for this matter, it is probably covered under the policy and your daughter should immediately submit a claim to the insurer to find out if it's covered. 

Although some are appreciating today, historically they just decrease in value over time.

A minimum of 650 is often acceptable, but that can increase or decrease depending on your market.

Although patching up the hole with sand definitely decreases the flow (could be sand absorbing the water, or the water just finding some other path of least resistance)Thanks for all your input though!

If I’m trying to buy a property now, using the rent potential for now, won’t I lose money once the price drops and the rental yield decreases?

We are afraid that if hold on to the property that the market will eventually decrease and we will lose an opportunity to sell in this crazy market.
