We are seriously considering  rent to retirement properties given the relative passive nature.

Due to inflation and the drastic increases in material, labor, and supplies, that's naturally caused carriers to rethink limits/values on file. 

Lots of natural light.

My credit was pulled twice (currently sitting at a 700+ according to Experian) but I don't know if this would affect my score or anything when it come to actually choosing a property and locking in a rate.

I want to refi and pull some of that equity out ($200-$250k) so I can keep growing my portfolio but I'm not sure how to approach it as it would obliterate the cash flow I currently have, and in the current market I won't be able to make up for it with additional properties as they would also have minimal cash flow.

Meaning if one partner initially contributes 60% & the other contributes 40% then that would naturally give you a 60/40 split2.

@Arron Paulino Your posts illustrate the challenges of exiting SFH's in markets where the natural buyer is another investor and not home owner.

For some reason we human love to try fighting nature, thinking we can "tame" it, despite failing a whole lot at it. 

Agree it is difficult to assess costs when they vary so much by location.Keep in mind that some turnovers are sickenly expensive, and that is just the nature of the business.
