Think from a bank's perspective.A owner-occupied 30 year mortgage is at risk of the borrower losing their income becoming disabled, any number of personal crises.A rental home 30 year mortgage is at risk of the same issues, but you can boot the tenant and find a new one -- thus resolving the issue.I'd argue that rental mortgages are far less risky than conventional mortgages, and the fact is a conventional mortgage is ensured by the federal government "ironclad" so the fact that the pricing is the same when a rental mortgage doesn't have that federal backing really speaks volumes.Let's fund one!

@Kevin Duke Since Subject A’s $6M net worth is below the federal estate tax exemption ($13.61M in 2024) and Florida has no estate or inheritance tax, Subject B can inherit the property tax-free with a step-up in basis to the fair market value at the time of death, eliminating capital gains tax if sold immediately.To avoid probate, Subject A can use a Lady Bird Deed (Enhanced Life Estate Deed) or a Transfer on Death (TOD) Deed, which allows automatic transfer to Subject B while retaining full control during their lifetime.

Most companies would require this type of disclosure since its similar to what they are doingYes Chris I agree - I think if anything it's not illegal state-wide or federally, since commercial lending is NMLS-recognized.

It’s too soon tell but from what I’m seeing the hit on the Federal workforce is also impacting contractors throughout the DMV… I expect panic selling which increases inventory, however, with higher interest rates, which will likely continue upwards if tariffs & deporting our cheap labor comes to fruition, first time homebuyers are shut out.  

One key difference is that Prime also includes monthly bookkeeping in their pricing.For reference, here’s what Taxstra provides for $1,500:• Preparation of individual tax return• Electronic filing of federal & state returns• Review of prior-year return for consistency• Up to two hours of post-filing support for minor corrections/questions• Digital document storage• Short-term rental loophole assistance• Personalized video walkthrough of the tax return• IRS/State correspondence for any notices or inquiries• Year-round access for “quick questions” (not requiring additional research)Does anyone here have experience with either of these services, or have recommendations on what to prioritize at this stage?
