Some lenders may accept pledging your property as additional collateral for a purchase at a blended loan to value.

You could have a high cap with very low annual increases and conversely have lower cap rate but higher annual increases so that the blended cap and return is better that way.The debt available with  a corporate guarantee versus a franchisee is drastically different.

I think the April post my title probably confused a lot of people since I tried to blend it with April Fool's Day.

Or is it a blend of both?  

@Nisha SaxenaSeems like a rough calculation as to what your tax will be.Just an FYI - there is no 20% tax rate; your accountant provided you for effective tax rate(average blend).

Hi @Andrew Martin ,There are always deals in every market, they're just harder to uncover in some markets.As for the 2% rule, those type of rentals will, in fact, be D tenants.

Experienced investors are far less worried about what problems they may uncover as well so they often times waive inspection periods entirely.I agree with the other advice, if the numbers work to pay over list price then go for it but otherwise, you gotta be patient.

It’s supposed to be for things that are uncovered during inspection, not that were obvious prior to going under contract. 

Combining the two into a single number I can compare gets me to a blended interest rate of 5.222% at $1.1M, is that correct?

Even the blended return from a good property bought with the refi is going to be dragged down by the performance of this one.I don't see this as so much a tax issue as a performance issue.
