American Home Mortgage also works to introduce its Hispanic borrowers to Realtors and serves as a liaison throughout the home-buying process, translating when necessary and making sure both parties know what the other expects.Realtors are uniquely suited to help Hispanic immigrants achieve the American dream of homeownership.

I'll help you anyway I can here.To be fair, my point was that there are slim pick'ns, that translates into higher prices for potential fix n flips, higher material and rehab costs for small buyers, higher costs for labor if you can't give a few guys steady work and I failed to mention the 2,000+ agents crawling all over town trying to get a listing from the 100 people they know.You're welcome to try.... do you eat BBQ?

If you submit it in writting it also takes out the translation loss from the agent.

The property isn't condemed but I am not sure what "liveable" translates into.

Your post says this is a 2-unit. which translates to "rental" to me.

It has occurred to me the small revenue increase could actually translate into a loss.

Of course that also translates to downward pressure on rent prices.

This savings could translate into a higher return on your time since if you paid back your 49,200 and only have 20k left @12% interest lets say your month cost to hold the property is not substantially less in the absence of obscene closing costs or points.Option B:This may be an investors dream cash back 45k in your hands and a property with no skin in the game "infinite return," assuming you still cash flow with 120k of leverage on the property.A tenant would be paying your mortgage, taxes, insurance, and etc while you've retained the property, received 45k non taxable proceeds from the refinance since the asset has not been sold, and potentially making some income each month if the numbers work.120k @30 year fixed 5.625% is only about 690.79 per month and taxes and insurance I'd wager (depending on state) is probably 130 more.

It's important that you know and track it as an indicator of your investment(s) quality and value to you personally, but doesn't translate to another investor.What does is the Market Cap Rate.

My experience is that I could have over 1000 cash buyers on my list, and it would not translate into more deals done.
