Just recognize the rate would most likely be in the double digits, especially if the portfolio loan is not in first position.

@Angel Peng, Good news!

Retail and data center REITs lead, with Realty Income and Digital Realty Trust among top fundraisers.While REITs raised significant capital, property acquisitions have slowed, with more sales than purchases recorded.

I refinanced the $300K mortgages keeping it at $300K increasing my cash flow by more than $18K/year.The good news is 1993 was a bad year and there are pages and pages of RE auctions.

I understand your point but but strong language like that, combined with the overexaggerate of the news and their storms of the century that actually never happened put out a little bit of a unnecessary fear out there , I get it tho , there’s some truth and practicality to it , I must admit the high insurance costs and hurricanes have caused me to rethink the investment location, but I’m not gonna tuck tail and run in fear quite yet because who really knows if this is the new normal, and even if it is people live and invest in Florida coasts  because it’s Paradise for most of the year and they love it and accept the risk . 

The EPA has published new lead paint standards. https://www.healthday.com/health-news/environmental-health/e...All five of my rentals were built well before the end of the lead paint era.

**Why A Half-Point Rate Cut May Signal Bad News**While many view the Federal Reserve's half-point rate reduction as a positive sign, I see potential red flags.

Live where you want and invest where the numbers make the most sense.The benefit of living in NYC is that you hopefully make a nice salary compared to others in the country.This gives you a competitive advantage when you want to buy properties in other parts of the country.If you are investing in NYC, you are not investing for the cash-flow but the potential appreciation.I used to live in NYC(now I am a digital nomad) and I decided to invest in Florida.
