I see an opportunity to continue to get credit facilities from investment banks at 3.25% based on libor to get a blended cost of capital under 5%.

Your looking at a blended cost of capital around 24%.When I run my hedge fund, we get a blended cost of capital of less than 5% using a credit facility/warehouse line based on Libor at 3.25% currently blended with the targe returns of the fund at 8% (10% to 11% if interest is compounded).

A compromise is the greige blend like the SW colors mentioned...but it is worth noting that the spec home colors at the neighborhood I visited seemed to be beige, not greige.

LOLYou didn't share what type of investment property you will be purchasing.Little residential houses do not blend well with lenders or insurers.  

I buy properties with at least blended rents of 650/unit.

@Steve Kehoe You might want to blend in networking with reading to get to your goal.

If not, is it even a realistic blended average rent over the next 8 years and can you afford to carry a loss on it for a few years?

This is the best grass growing time , I wouldnt sod , I would seed and straw , use a blend high in rye .
