What is your current rate and what are you being quoted?

With a fideicomiso, the gross income is taxed through a withholding tax whereas, with the corporation, the rate, you can deduct expenses but the taxation rate is higher.

Plus, there are upfront costs to consider, like furnishing your condo and any expenses tied to managing it as a rental.As for refinancing, it might not be the right time with interest rates where they are.

We talked about an aggressive paydown at a rate of $5k for the next 6 months to make the deal sweeter for the next person, but renting it would be preferable to that I believe since I can get a higher return on smaller development projects at a burn rate like that. 

If someone offered to finance this house to you at your current rates if you put down $250k would you do it?

Rising interest rates at the time created downward pressure on our ARV.

If have investment property, we are looking for relatively updated units (we are ok doing some work ourselves), class C+/B tenants, with rents either close to market rate or that can be increased.

The reason I ask is because most deals I see on Crexi or Loopnet or anywhere else create negative cash flow under 7 or even 10 year terms with 7% - 8% interest rate.

For the 10 year period spanning December 2014-2024, single-family prices in Austin nearly doubled, yielding an annualized appreciation rate of ~9.4% in that period.

However, with high rates, the next mortgage would be very expensive, and a vacancy would be intensely expensive with two mortgages.
