Not a penny has dropped to me or any investors.

Even if I have to lower the rate by $200 to find the right tenant, I am still ahead of the game by a C-note by year's end.Just my 2 cents, I hope you have already found a tenant for your home by the time this post drops!  

As far as credit, you would want a score above 680 ideally to get the highest loan to value on a cash out refinance, but I would aim higher at 720+ as that comes with a significant rate drop.

You lock in your interest rate and if rates drop you can prepay at any time and refinance at a lower rate without penalty.If the deal is commercial, whether commercial multifamily (5+ units), office, industrial, self storage, hotel, you name it...the choice becomes far more difficult. 

So for a limited time, a very limited time, and I’m thinking probably till the end of August, the last day of August being kind of the drop date, if you will.

The price dropped further.

In the Houston and Katy markets, prioritize cash-flowing properties that can withstand current high interest rates, and plan to scale by reinvesting cash flow or refinancing when rates drop.

There are 2 group calls per month with Jerome leading the call; it is scheduled at 2 pm PST (not ideal for most people regardless of time zone), Jerome was always late, there is no agenda or plan for the call, his phone reception was interrupted constantly to the point that his line would drop, and each call has ended abruptly with Jerome saying he had another commitment he had to get to.

There is no additional "risk" on the note like a demand clause etc, but you have  extra expense in upfront one time costs and the pre-payment penalty that most programs are sold with if rates do drop as expected in the future.  

So the risk is lower, as long as the market doesn't drop 20% and stay that low for the next 3 years.
