If Airbnb is your best option, choose a location with high occupancy rates and optimize pricing with dynamic tools like PriceLabs.

When you consider that I only work about 4 hours a week, that breaks down to an hourly rate of just over $1,500 per hour.

Quick question on those who have done seller financing:- Buying a 0.3 acre downtown fort lauderdale multi family, negotiated an around 1M price w lot of development rights, double lot. seller got it way back early 90s for pennies- got good credit 800+, w2 job etc put 40% down and mortgage bank offered 6.62% 30yr fixed (CF negative as this would make current rent roll not too much compared to the PITI)- property is in ok condition, needs 20-30k repairs which seller OKd, and all 3 tenants are month to month, pay bit under market but also ok- seller would like to do seller financing, interest only at 5.75%, 30yr amortization at 7yr balloon (CF would be positive) - id be paying some principal as well, just to grow some equity- buying this deal for the future development of the area (las olas, kushner broward crossing) so not really worried even if we overpay for it now, but never done creative finance as i always relied on a strong W2 job to get good loans but obv im used to 3% 30yr rates from covid times not this 6+ environment..Goal is to hold the property 3-5yrs, and then actually develop it or sell half the land / refinance, pull out HELOC if it appreciates.Questions:1) What does he know that i dont? 

I also have no interest in being in the car wash business, or the laundry business, or the AirBnB business, things like that which seem to appeal to a good number of people, but not me.I like to KISS, and just focus on market rate rentals, 12 to 18 month leases.

Interest rates doubled within a six month period of time and property sales almost completely stopped. 

1st step is to make sure that the electricity is rated for having electric heat by the electric company.

As another poster mentioned rates are lower than they've been in the previous 18+ months but unless some very surprising economic data comes out between now and when you did your refi it seems unlikely that rates are going up in the short term and there is at least a decent chance that rates drop a little more before then. 

Rental rates are fine for SFHs - I haven't had to drop my rates whatsoever with turnover, nor have I had a single tenant try to negotiate a lower rate. 

What is the current interest rate on a private money loan approximately $300Kthanks 

(Not being a vet I’m not sure of the interest rate difference but know that the 3.5% down FHA is often worse than a conventional 5% down.).
