I am asking both in terms of their turnkey products and in general how competent they are and trustworthy. 

If the price to replace is within budget I'd do it because you're putting out a newer/safer/more reliable product.2) Cost to replace the entire systems is tough to gauge without knowing the building size and style...

They'll micromanage the product. 

@Mark HaskinsThere are several good to very good low flow shower heads available these days at 1.75, 1.5 and even, 1.25 usg/minute {standard shower head flows at 2.5 gpm}.Have a look at the Spoiler and Earth models available from AM Conservation Group {formerly part of Niagara Conservation who manufactures good low-flow, flapperless toilets}.NFI in Niagara, just a satisfied customer who has been using their products in our units for the past 3+ years.

. - Investors would be wise to look into stabilized bridge products with low prepayment penalties. - Prepayment options have become more flexible. - There are a lot more bridge loans for rental products, different than original conceptions of bridge products.- Lenders want to work only with sponsors/operators they are already comfortable with- Capital is meeting the needs of investors, more flexible

Its a renewable resource for sure so there is always going to be plenty of Doug fir.. and of course Hemlock which they call piss fir and or Hemfir at the store.. and those logs sell for a lot less on the stump.. but the end product is the same cost..

As Erik mentioned, normally banks that hold their own notes are the only that can push a good ARM product.

I hope you're all having a productive week.

Hi - typically Mixed Use properties are going to require a traditional commercial real estate loan from a bank, small balance commercial private lender or for the larger ones a CMBS style loan.However, a newer "DSCR Loan" product for Mixed Use is making a comeback - which is a really great option for smaller properties/more beginner investors since it has all the same trappings as a residential DSCR Loan (30-year fixed, easy qualification, straightforward process) for a property with commercial units.Generally going to be limited to 8 units max and has to be primarily residential in every way (majority residential by units, square footage and rents) but if it fits all that, its a great option

If you refinance, you would just need to use a loan product that allows the property to be owned by an LLC.
