For almost two years now, people have been predicting rate cuts that were right around the corner and were a sure thing.

It’s a manufactured home and there’s also a two car garage.

The more time you spend on administrative tasks coordinating with multiple service providers, the less time you get to spend on managing your properties, finding new potential investments and increasing your financial returns.Tax strategies and property insurance are two areas that are highly customizable because no two portfolios are identical.

If so, then I'd send them the inspection report + the list of items you want repaired / estimated costs for and then use those to either negotiate the price down a bit / request seller credit for repair OR a combo of the two. 

@Rick Soto,Both options have their pros, but here’s a way to think about it given your plan to move in 5 years:Option 1 (10% DP, 2-1 Buydown): This gives you lower payments for the first two years and saves you cash flow short-term.

I currently reside in San Diego, CA, and I am in the process of purchasing two properties in Henderson, NV, in my personal name.

So there's acquisition, rehab/repair, carry, insurance (vacant/contractor insurance, yes there's two types), and any other expenses (closing, etc).

I'm paid much more slowly, since I only receive the difference between the two lease agreements on a monthly basis - but then I also receive the difference between the two purchase agreements when they close.

Two local banks made offers 18 months ago - one was at 4% with 0 points, the other at 4.25% with one point.  

Current rates make the next home tough even at our income with two kids etc.
