The strategy we are going to use to get into real estate is buy and hold, so we intend on renting out whichever home we purchase sooner than later.

But, luckily, in my 25 years of appraising, I don't have any experience with those type of lawsuits (or any) against me or my work.And yes, you could also file a complaint with whichever governing body oversees Appraisers in OR.Hope this helps and please let me know if anything comes out of it. 

Columbus can be an extremely tough place to find a good contractor so it was nice as an out of state investor to have them manage that rehab for me.Other than managing the properties yourself which as an out of state investor I don't recommend, you'll most likely have to manage and be on top of which ever management company you end up going with. 

Make sure before you contacting the lender that offer you a mortgage buydown, you call all CU that has a special ARM mortgage rate.If you are planning owner occupy for a while and can refi with another owner occupied loan down the line, a 5/7/10 ARM at whichever one offers the lowest rate might be the way to go, and save the 2.1k for cosmetic repairs that will boost your rent prices.

Treasury yield curve rate for one year, as of the first business day of each year, whichever is greater.

Banks and lenders will loan you a % of the sales price or appraisal value (whichever is lower).

Hi @Chuck Hollowell, with delayed financing you should be able to get either 75% ARV or the "total cost of your initial investment", whichever is lower.
