Plug in a big rate jump and see how that affects your cash flow...if the deal still works, then you are good to go, knowing rates probably wont bounce that much

Feel free to bounce some questions my way if you run into some trouble. 

What they don't mention is that as @Ian Smith pointed out, the City requires a 20-point inspection vs. the typical 8-point inspection elsewhere.I'm a home inspector in Baltimore City and the consensus price I've heard bounced around is $200-$225 for the City due to the stringent requirements.

Either is fair and I would bounce off of the partners what they think is most appropriate.  2 cents!  

If nothing else, I’d like to bounce around ideas with someone other than my infant son or dog.  

I then bounce her advice that she gives me off of other real estate investors I know to verify it. 

It would be nice to meet some like minded people and bounce some ideas around and learn.

In this way they get the benefit of the safety of cash still getting good returns and the potential bounce from strong leverage but concentrated in fewer properties so risk is less.The other issue is the desire to wind it down. 

It will get bounced around and forgotten about for days or weeks because they all have much bigger things to deal with.

If you are a newbie like me looking to bounce ideas or a successful investor willing to provide advice, I am just trying to get the ball rolling and open to any and all communication.
