Would someone confirm if this is true or false. 

I never like to hear that cash flow doesn't exist, as it's not true, it's just tougher to find, and you have to be willing to work for it.

The folks at mass save said there is a new program as of 2023 that offers $5000 per unit for knob and tube remediation and said I could take a heat loan of max $10,000 per unit as well for the balance so I am hoping that is true.

Your assumption of there being "strong evidence" of a meth lab isn't always true.

It is true that Ross Hamilton as assembled the largest social network for real estate investors.

Absolutely true.

What there real true product is, that they are selling is HOPE.

If you want to know your true return, you should also add in your annual appreciation(This is assuming the prior number is just cash-flow).Current rates are high right now at around 7%.For it to make sense refinancing, you would need to find an investment that generates a return atleast higher than that, which may be hard.

Even more challenging is ignoring that inventory of 20,000 homes on the market and sourcing off-market deals.It's true that with a good deal, money will follow.

This especially true at high leverage (85% in your case).
