I believe that within three years, rates will be much lower, and you can refinance.Another consideration is that once you get a property under contract, you should immediately shop around for better rates.

Quote from @Tessa Booth: I’m planning on doing some Black Friday shopping for some tools/gear to use for doing some rehab work.

I used CE Shop and they are nationwide. 

During that lunch work shop I haven't taking notes and I felt more and more the staff is looking bad at me: of course I m the only fool who hasen't talked to them yet!

i am confident i can manage the relatively small amount of requests, and have heard some good things about apps and software that are a "one stop shop" for landlords that allow payment, leases, and repair requests. i have one out of state rental property with a plethora of options for handymen and contractors around. i have been paying a property management company 8% plus all of their inflated costs of repairs and fees and with insurance going up it has really opened my eyes to my margins not as healthy as i would like.do you have a certain product you have used or use or would recommend?

Buy them well so you can refinance out the downpayment with a Home Equity Line of Credit with lenders that will do that for you and go shopping again.

I'll have to shop around and see if I can get something better. 

I was shopping hard for an OOS opportunity last summer in GA and honestly grateful I went 0/15 on offers.
