Talk to @Grant Shipman about a possible different way of marketing them to the subgroup who gets it.

Possibly too much, but I'm not 100% sure what I'll need. 

These all play into the "type" of investment we wanted to do.We are in Iowa where December thru March can be cold and windy. 

We have two flip homes and are possibly looking for investors, or to get a loan.

@Tom HallAt 7% if you can I would pay it down as investing it net after tax gains may not get you the 7% you are paying - so it’s less riskDownside is you lose liquidity of that money as it’s tied in your propertyIf rates come down in future you can refinance and even take some of the cash out.Regarding your question are rates coming down, a lot of factors come into play but right now it does not appear there will be significant changes to rates over next 3-6 months.

Long Term: highly unlikely but I suppose anything is possible.

An experienced agent will list your property with the language, "no showings until an accepted offer", to avoid violating your tenant's rights to the peaceful enjoyment of their home - possibly resulting in their lack of cooperations and a lawsuit against you.

These are set it an forget it plays. 7.

I think it will prove to be especially important as I evaluate possible properties in the future.

Are they doing everything possible to expose properties to the broadest possible market?
