I typically opted for roughly 3 draws per deal, just to limit draw costs.Also, all of my lenders charged me interest on the full loan balance at closing, even though I hadn't drawn the whole loan (which annoyed me, but I get their perspective).So really, in my experience, I didn't find any to be "better or worse" they all seemed to have their own trade offs, i.e. more general accounting was easier for me, but higher draw cost.

I'd say we're currently on a 6 month cycle of pulling fresh data from them.Our data practices are evolving quickly :-)

Okay, just to counter the perspective; if you are buying as an investment did you plan to take on a job? 

@Jon Taylor I appreciate your input and perspectives on DSTs.

Another perspective is looking at cash flow. 

Whether or not you own the units vs. owning the shares that give you a lease on the unit is just a matter of perspective because at the end of the day the numbers breakdown the same. 

If you can manage the cash flow and if you have a reasonably long term perspective, I would recommend that you keep the house and use it for STR. 

Having cash to play with is nice, though the rollercoaster has given me a fresh appreciation for real estate and holding.

Well first, the buyer might have walked, and Alecia now would have to tell all new perspective buyers about the problem.Then, as I wrote, since assumably the mortgage was current, the insurer would have told its insured (the bank), give us a call after you foreclose and take title, then we'll see what we'll do. 

Great perspective
