These traditionally have lower rates than cash-out refinances and will only cover your existing loan amount + closing costs, so you'll need an existing mortgage for this type of loan.4.

While opportunities still exist, I think they are still rare with interest rates and property values high.  

Hi Robert,Given you are looking to buy another rental (long term), a cash out refinance on the existing property would be a good play here.

If you can't find existing meetups, create your own by organizing casual gatherings for like-minded investors.

This is one area where it helps tremendously to have per-existing relationships with people in the industry such as family or friends.

Long term hold, with buyer planning on carrying existing financing to term without the ability to quickly cure default — terrible strategy with huge risk for both parties.   

The two existing LTR units (on my family’s property) were built 5–8 years ago at a cost of about $80,000 per unit, so I’m estimating a 20% increase in costs for the new builds.My plan is to use the equity in the land as the down payment for the construction loan, which I expect will make closing costs the primary upfront expense.

I'm trying to analyze my first property and not sure how to set it up to run the number using the calculator tools here. 2 of the units are successful Airbnb short term rentals, and the other two units are month to month rentals to existing tenants.

The obvious answer is to sue when someone has committed fraud.

Here's one of mine:I acquired a building towards the middle of the year with an existing commercial tenant.
