I am pulling in between $500 to $1,000 from mine each month even at a high interest rate with about 25% down for each. 

I have done a lot of those with small builders.. that way we get our rate of return on our note and at exit we made a nice spiff some times double to triple how much we lent..

Cap rate, per door price, gross rent multiplier.

The takeaways I'm getting are:- Analyze the areas more in depth, looking at things like prices, rental ratio, housing availability, vacancy rates. 

As for cash or not I think it depends on rates, your level of risk tolerance, and what the opportunity costs is for that money. 

Things like landscaping/snow removal and labor cost for repairs are going to be highly variable based on your market so you'd need to do your own research on the going rate by either talking to other local investors, running your own google search, or exploring basic services on thumbtack/angies list etc. 

For a purchase or rate/term refinance, that would be 70% LTV; for a cash-out refinance, that will be 65% LTV. 

I am pricing out 75%-80% with other lenders at better rates Hi Erik.Can you reccomend any other lenders?

They charge a flat rate of $600 per $1M in price.My local association and MLS combined is about $1,600 for the year.The only thing that I really miss is having access to the NAR forms or your local state forms, and the software to fill them out so easily, with Glide.com or Zipforms. etc...

It’s a solid option if you’re confident about refinancing before the higher rate kicks in or if you want to save more month-to-month early on.Option 2 (3.5% DP, Permanent Buydown): Lower upfront costs free up cash to invest elsewhere, and the 5.4% permanent rate adds predictability.
