I have just recently purchased the real estate that one of my restaurants is located after about 12 years there.I've done some rehab work on the current rentals that I own but consider myself to be still very much a novice.

Hi BP people, I'm a novice investor looking for some advice: I got an offer from my father the other day but I don't know how to make best use of it.Some background: I'm a US citizen living abroad (Australia) for the last 10 years, but I stupidly closed all my US-based credit accounts at the time.  4 years ago, even though I had zero credit history, I started an LLC in TX, found a TX bank willing to finance a TX rental purchase, and have been paying down the loan ever since.  

(which  suppose is the ultimate answer to my question)With my current 3.25% rate, my DSCR is approx 3.8, which is slick, but now my mortgage payment will double, and DSCR will go to approx 2..And like you stated, it seems macro economic sentiment will see rates continue to increase, so I suppose I'll do it now for 7%.And I can refi into a new rate in 2 years or so and/or when rates fall..Let me know if any of this sounds "out of pocket" as this is my first refi so I'm novice here in that sense.

Hi all, I am a novice but highly motivated to be an investor in apartment building -my spouse & me have some cash assets around half a million dollars - my question to all the experienced & senior members is if it is possible to buy an apartment building of more than 15- 20 units worth at least a million dollars as investment - We have no prior experience  with real estate nor did I have had any mortgage , never bought any SFH - Only started reading more & more about real estate now - getting lot of knowledge from different forums here - will appreciate any help on how to proceed 

I am unsure how to begin my due diligence on this property without looking like a complete novice.
