that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Obviously rates may differ than the rate sheet being advertised but just looking it appears the home equity and home equity loans are going to be more than a second mortgage or even a cash out refinance.

This creates a negative initial position.

If loan balance is $300k and it's worth $400k and an equity partner puts $40k to bring it current then they have about 40% of equity in the property - now they would not take straight $40k as probably more costs involved.

Hey BiggerPockets community,I’m in the process of defining my investment strategy, and I’d love to hear from those with more experience.I have enough capital to pursue one of these two paths:1️⃣ Build a Single-Family Home Portfolio: Gradually acquire around 20 SFHs using the BRRRR strategy or focusing on positive cash flow properties.

Quote from @Cooper Meurer: Lately, I have been mulling the idea of selling my primary residence and renting for 1-2 years before we leave the Midland area and move to the Texas Hill Country (surrounding Austin area)Reasoning for this:- I currently have around 120k in equity in my residence and I have a 4.75% interest rate. 

Maybe your wife would be willing to take a lump sum based on the equity in the Air BnB. 

I just paid off another DSCR so pleased to be in this position. 

There is around 500k equity in the property. 150k-200k would get the property fully rented at top dollar with desirable tenants. 100k would get it to where I can rent all the units back out at fair reasonable market rents.

If its home that went through a remodel, typically there is not any sort of warranty and you will still experience some work orders come in.Either way, great option for some investors and currently there are still some deals out there that you can walk into equity with, which is typically why you'd want a non-turnkey property. builder warranties are for 1 year typically..
