Also be aware that cash out refinances typically have slightly higher rates than initial purchases or just rate and term refinances.

I’ve got some buildings with great interest rates that just won’t cash flow with less than my original 20% equity.

Very high risk and nearly impossible to make the numbers work for long term buy and holds even back in 2017-2021 when rates were favorable.

If so you may have some full doc options which have the best rates typically and terms.Like others have mentioned you have DSCR loans too but this only allows you to purchase non owner occupied properties (not primary residence or second home occupancy type properties).

Many of these were lost in tax sales, and the ones that they got re-performing underwrote loan mods at low single digit interest rates during ZIRP and could not resell them at a profit once interest rates were hiked.

Don't forget that a lot of these old gurus started when the interest rates were near 0% and the house was a half price of now with 0 regulations.

No pocket listings = agents aren't even calling for new leads anymore, rising interest rate has nothing to do with an agent's ability to generate leads.If you mean multifamily apartments, 5 units and up, some of those agents will know, but not many until you are over 10 units which are more listed by only commercial brokers which I agree do understand seller finance.

In one building I saw rates of $50/night. 

They can help assess the market value of the property, considering its condition, and suggest the best sales strategy.Direct to Investors or Wholesalers: While 'we buy ugly houses' companies often offer below-market rates (as they typically look for deeply discounted properties), reaching out to local real estate investors or wholesalers could be a worthwhile option.

How do you evaluate the increase (or decrease) in price of the land in question down the road?
