My investors acquire with cash as a routine investment strategy to secure properties quickly and eliminate competing buyers using financing.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Most think they invest in a B, but it is really below median, so a C plus or even C minus.If you want to know if your neighborhood is slipping, track the median price of that municipality/neighborhood against the median price of the metro area or State if you want to Zoom out.Here is an example: Wauwatosa (blue) has been outperforming Milwaukee County, Wisconsin and the US.

The whole buy it and wait to re-fi is a farce.

Glad to hear you were able to secure it.

Add outdoor security cameras (just let guests know they’re there) and maybe some motion-sensor lights for extra safety.

We have secured a home equity loan against our home (which we own out right with no mortgage payment).

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

Keep in mind, though, that each lender has their own criteria for how much future potential they’ll factor in, so it might come down to some skillful negotiation and presenting detailed projections that don’t feel like puffery.Just be careful not to come off as overly speculative…lenders tendd to shy away from what sounds too good to be true.Anyway, I’m curious.. have you spotted any other investors in Gainesville facing a similar refinance puzzle and what kind of terms were they able to secure? 

Using a HELOC or home equity loan on your personal home could be a good option, especially if you can secure a low interest rate and manageable terms.
