Is 15% down payment for DSCR is more important to you?

If you had 80-100k for down payments, what were your move be, as a first time investor?

As long as you're making payments on time and have proper insurance on the property, banks are happy and don't want to call a loan due. 

If so, and you get a reasonable 7% loan on the $375k your payment will be $2496/mo.

The facts that she was late twice and didn't even attempt to make a partial payment or talk to you says it all. 

You can write off everything still, its actually better if flip takes more then a year as you can make it look like a long term capital gain, need a investor friendly CPA who isn't afraid to do what gets you the lowest tax payments. 

Smarty Pants(me), or it makes way more sense to them, and worth way more to them.Maybe they know if there is civil war gold buried there, and they just haven't had time to dig it up yet? 

Quote from @Bruce Schussler: A lot of Podcasts and Youtuber's say to cash-out refinance to keep rents balanced with payment; (PITI) then use those funds strategically to re-invest either in more real estate or just put into a high interest bearing account or money market account...Here's some of my thoughts and comparisons;Cash-out refinance with new loan so rents balance with payment:- The cash-out refinance is 100% tax free- The funds can be put into a money-market account off-setting a portion of the interest charge of loan- The loan balance gets eventually destroyed by inflation- The liquid cash eventually gets destroyed by inflation - The interest on the new loan can be deducted from the rent income- The refinance costs are 3-4% of the total- There is less equity in the property and LLC that can be attached in case of a lawsuit- The break-even on cash-out refinance with current interest costs on the new loan is around 12 years Vs.Paid-off property with positive cash flow:- The positive rent income is 100% taxable minus only depreciation and property tax- There is more equity in the property and LLC that can be attached with a lawsuit- The break even is not until after 12 years at today's interest rates- There is a rate risk in today's inflationary environment where interest rates on bonds keep rising*It appears to me that the cash-out refi is in the best interest for a property investor; (Dave Ramsey would strongly disagree!)

When paying with cash, you have fewer closing costs (no lender fees) and fewer holding costs (no interest payments).

Many sellers targeted by wholesalers are “desperate’ as they are behind on payments or in foreclosure.
