Help me adjust my expectations - first deal pending
24 January 2025 | 36 replies
Mine was also out of state, in a town I’d never visited, and I relied heavily on videos from my agent.This sounds like a tough first deal, but it seems like you have some capital on the side, which will be useful as you face the upcoming challenges and learn from those expensive early mistakes.Regarding the subject of this post, “help me adjust my expectations,” I’d recommend assuming that; repairs will cost twice as much as you estimate, maintenance and vacancy rates will likely double from your initial projections, there’s a very real chance you may lose money on this deal.That said, there are ways to mitigate these risks by:- Keep asking questions here on BP and connecting with local experts- Stay proactive and communicative with your agent and property manager.And remember “Inspect what you expect.”Im not trying to discourage you but to help reset your expectations.

Same thing as Bankrate for example they use a very specific model to price those rates and scenarios like 740 Fico, 70LTV, 15 year term and the APR is never really talked about when it comes to margin and points charged.So when your fico score, LTV, loan size or DTI deviates from that very specific loan scenario then they say in all websites required by law "rates are subject to change" hint hint!
