Curious, what sort of cap rates do you see in Japan? 

I looked at their booking calendar one time and thought it was pretty empty.I guess you don't know until you try...and probably depends on if you want high occupancy or high rate?

Raising your credit score will get you far better rates personally as well as with private lenders for your LLC. 

However, the success of this approach hinges on consistent appreciation, which depends on demand.The Key Factors to ConsiderPrice Dynamics: Prices are driven by the balance between buyers and sellers.

I  Income:  The amount of property you can buy will be dependent on your Debt to Income ratio.  

You are taking money from a heloc at a higher interest rate to pay down your first mortgage at a lower rate.

Its a 12 unit building so lets say 2 persons per unit . 60x2=120 a day per unit 120 x 12 units = 1440 gallons Depending on area lets round it up to an even 2000 gallons . 

Also I've heard of some DSCR loans that are not too far off from conventional rates.  

@Jill Young I may have a product that can work for you depending on the property specifics. 

This really depends on what your looking to do however for a very basic overview far west side is great, downtown and very close to the Cleveland Clinic, Little Italy, Tremont, and Ohio City are still great areas.
