I feel like rates will come down over the next 6 months or so.Unless you find a screaming deal that you just can't pass up, then bide your time.

Feel free to message me if you have additional questions.

Would love to talk more - feel free to shoot me a PM

It just feels like I’ve been making a lot of short term sacrifices for long term gains and I have to be really diligent with money management. or I could also just try to borrow money for the renovation, and pay off the line of credit over time, but I feel like that really would limit me and if the stock market(my collateral) went down I could also see some trouble. 

This deal reaffirmed the importance of partnering with local market experts like Erika Gilbert.

We have lots of interest and showings, so we feel our rental rate is right at market.

While it can feel like a hassle, these inspections help prevent bigger (and costlier) problems down the line.

Feel free to reach out any time.

I suppose here is a good time to ask you all, the “more expert than me-s” in the thread: on a scale of “5% return standard deviation bond market” to “15% return standard deviation stock market”, where would you put the unleveraged, post expense rental income of a well managed (aye, there’s the rub) SFH portfolio?
