@John D.check out Wave accounting software.

I don't know nor have enough knowledge to forecast the trend to time the market to catch the up wave.

Refi the original VA loan to something other than a VA and then apply for a VA loan as if it's your first.A side note if you have a VA disability rating of 10% or greater you can have the funding fee waved.

You will need to buy a baseball bat to beat them off of you when you wave that contract around.

I currently have an idea about flipping old/outdated offices and providing them them to the current wave of startups and new business starts.

From a business perspective, my strategy is to buy in up and coming neighborhood and ride the wave as property values and rents increase.

You're absolutely right, and yes there is a benefit of going with a lender who offers both the Hard Money Loan and the refinance exit - Many lenders who offer this combo will often times wave the pts attributed with the second closing when you refinance into permanent financing.

@Christopher Nerio there is a wave of buyers predicted to hit the market in 2017.

After this high season is over, I have a feeling that there is going to possibly be a wave of STR owners selling their properties because they don't have the stomach for the slow season or are simply financially unable to push through it.Regarding medium term rentals, in the high desert there isn't too much demand for them and is more of a low desert thing.

If you are interested in small MF, I would definitely look at what Elliott offers in secondary and tertiary markets.
