The word arbitrage was not even being used then to my knowledge. 

keep going after it. run lots of numbers and do a lot of underwriting. feel free to reach out at any time if you need help in your market. these properties that are 3 units are rented and then a cash out refinance that not only makes money but returns full capital to the investor on DSCR loans similar to the interest rate you mentioned above. 

If you are thinking about the PNW, then maybe there are resources there that can help.3.

Then I could have looked for a live-in flip.

Hey @Brett Baker, generally, any place with a great water view or directly on the water will bring more revenue.Of course profitability will all be based on purchase price and prevailing nightly rates in the area.If you find a cool 2/2 or 3/2 right on the water with a great view for 1.5m or a 2/2 or 3/2 house a block away for 600k, then I would look at the house over the condo.

They will take the average of the last 12 months, then charge you the same amount each month.

Therefore, you don't need to use a 1031 exchange; you can take as long as you wish to find and then buy another property.The only exception is if there is debt on a property, in which case there will be some UBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax) implications.

But, if you could not cover the spread between %3 and 6.5% rates, then you won't have much there to entice the CFD.

Being a normal person and giving someone a heads up has not bit me, yet.In addition to what the law requires, I always shoot the tenant a heads up either via text, call, or email.If they are mostly responding to email, then shoot them an email.Emojis and gifs work wonders in today's day in age.

And they essentially buy the property and then in 5 years, you refi and give them the down payment back.
