Quote from @Stacy Raskin: When doing a cash out refinance, it's important to consider seasoning periods of the waiting period you have to have between when the old transaction closed on the hard money loan to the new cash out transaction closing.

We currently use a mix of apartments.com/Rentmanager to record transactions.

Cant speak for Nashville, but nationally Redfin recently released a report on their own transactions (they can see both sides of it) that average commissions have risen.This is no surprise to me as I predicted this would happen far in advance of the settlement.

Yes you have to pay but few dollars per transaction is a small price to pay for the ease and convenience

Oregon is a prime region for seller and creative financing on real estate transactions.
