How bad is the insurance, how high are the property taxes, is there an Hoa, etc etc. 

There are aggressive lenders out there with lower fees for experienced flippers.  

My experience is the min is around 15%, but I've read some posts on BP that some lenders can offer a lower minimum (but that usually means a higher interest rate).

Baselane has the added advantage of synching with your Schedule E you'll use at tax time to file your taxes.

With rates in constant flux, you might have opportunities to lock in lower ones.

There are so many options for LVP now, from lower priced to higher.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

A little lower ARV is also ok.I like to use Hocker Title.

Here are some thoughts I hope help.The benefit of selling now is that as an inherited property you will likely pay no taxes because you inherit it at a stepped-up basis.I'm not a huge fan of buying a house that has lot rent.

So, when Trump changes to no tax on tips I feel inclined to change my rental income structure.50% reduction in rent.Previous 50% made up from a mandatory nontaxable tip.
