My out-of-state property management charges me a yearly admin fee of approx $200 (up to 10 properties inclusive with the one fee), and does not charge for tenant placement, but will add on Zillow ad expenses (I think it was like $57 last time they advertised one there).

I’m naturally observant and closed off when I’m in new environments and it can come off kind of shy; but these are just excuses and the meetups will be perfect for honing those skills. 

There is no point in buying a rate down in this environment, take no prepay or short prepay option, then refinance when rates drop, no need to spend the capital when it is clear we are headed down in the nearing future.

That being said, the BiggerPockets Conference is all-inclusive this year.

For better or for worse, we aren't "federally" in a short sale environment anywhere in the country at this point in time (Yes, maybe one neighborhood in one city may have disproportionate value to debt, but not on ANY large scale ANYWHERE).

In a more competitive environment, you need to make your property stand out to capture the limited demand.

There are multiple programs out there, inclusive of 30-year term on CRE. 

This isn't inclusive but should give you a good start.

A few things about an assumable mortgage; As you know, in a high interest rate environment, assuming a loan at a lower rate is great for saving on your monthly payments.

I look at Equity Multiple and duration, local market, macro-environment for asset class, supply/demand, GP experience/longevity, and about 50 other things.
