The current environment is going to probably be more like 65% LTV.

However, admittedly you have built up your reputation to the point where you are clearly one of the few operators who can pull this off and likely succeed but it will be interesting to see whether the demand changes in this environment to the fund model.Thanks as always for everyones thoughts and dialogue.

However, we won't get any tax benefits at our income level and in the current environment, we are nervous about finding a good renter, and all of the stress that would go along with it.

If I was back at your age just starting out I would be all over FHA duplex/triplex deals, especially with today's interest rate environment.

Confirm your ARV / adjust for current environment / risk and don't get emotionally tied to buying the house.

That is normally worth it, but in today's environment I wouldn't mess with it.

Worst possible environment for spread and just in time to catch the post opening wave...I wonder what the price differential from last year was?

“We don’t loan on mixed use buildings.”I would think in this absurdly low interest rate environment that it would be easier than in the past to secure reasonable loan terms if I wanted to borrow against the properties.Curious to hear if anyone can offer feedback and/or possible lending solutions.

@Meredith Burt because I read an article on Bigger Pockets recently that said it may be easier to get a loan through them in the current environment.
