That moratorium is supposed to be temporary.Mind you, while the US used to have (some of the) lowest interest rates in the world for the last 15 years, this is no longer the case and the US actually has some of the highest interest rates in the world nowadays and that doesn't look to change any time soon.

Shorter term CD's actually have higher rates than longer term so staying in the 3-6 month range is best.  

We only get a statement from the management company about the rate.

If the market is tough, I reduce the rent rate over the full 12-month term.

Hey @Brett Baker, generally, any place with a great water view or directly on the water will bring more revenue.Of course profitability will all be based on purchase price and prevailing nightly rates in the area.If you find a cool 2/2 or 3/2 right on the water with a great view for 1.5m or a 2/2 or 3/2 house a block away for 600k, then I would look at the house over the condo.

Could be a higher rate, lower leverages, higher reserves, etc... varies by lender.Cheers!

We are planning to hold it for 5 years and bought a rate cap to cover the entire hold period. 

Quote from @Jimmy Lieu: Quote from @Andrew Syrios: The BRRRR strategy is tough these days (I even wrote an article about it that goes into more detail a little while back: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/beyond-brrrr-taking-advan...)In short, high interest rates as well as labor/material costs makes it hard to buy a property with debt and cash flow. 

Other KPIs and considerations you should evaluate when talking to any lender who offered private placement of loans/notes are historic default rate, how quickly they can place your funds (do you get preference over their income funds, for example), average interest rate - borrower note rate and what is passed through to you, are loans serviced by a 3rd party servicer or in house.

But in Smarter Contact, even though it's not required (if you're in the Elite or Enterprise Plans), they're strongly suggesting it and even have a report on "carrier block rate" percentage.
