SUBSTANTIALLY.I highly recommend tapping into your equity and accumulating some more assets at these prices, you will thank yourself in 3 years.The best and most cost effective way to do so is a simple cash out refinance, I don't think you should touch your primary, but leverage your investments for sure.

It is quite effective. 

I'm looking at purchasing a small multi-family rental property in the Allentown or Philadelphia area, and I plan to use the BRRRR strategy.I'm struggling with the best way to analyze potential properties to ensure a solid ARV and would love any advice on effective tools or methods you use.

If you’re messaging guests or contractors, save those communications in a folder.MileIQ is great for tracking Mileage.

It's even worse for landlords "The company is also asking for rate hikes of 38% for rental dwellings and 15% for tenants, with the rates taking effect May 1."

We have been doing this constantly in Boise as we are such a high appreication market, but still more cost effective than CA.

Over time, we have developed systems to handle these situations as effectively as possible.

If I were you I would get a good flavor from the tenants how they interacted with the previous owner, essentially, how they paid, how did they make repair/maintenance requests, when/why did the communicate with the owner, etc...

Safeguard strung me along for several months of late partial payments and very little communication.

Yes, but they were not investor friendly and didn't have the best communication.
