Example: If you invest in a BRRRR deal and the rehab goes long or over, make sure you have some exit strategies in place: 1) have the cash or loan enough to float you all the way to the refinance; 2) You could sell it; 3) Have a backup investor in place, etc...

Does anybody have a good Rule of Thumb to estimate costs of hanging sheetrock, to include Tape & Float up to but not including painting?  

I just wasn't sure if people truly held this pot of funds aside, or if they in reality just in invest it, and then pull out of investments as needed when issues come up (assuming they have the cash flow to float those kinds of costs when they arise).

Let me know what you decide as I'll reach 50 units soon and I've floated the idea of hiring a fuel time maintenance man. 

the new vinyl floors are what they call "floating floors"   they are intended to expand and contract a little bit, thats why you cut them 1/4" short or so on the ends to leave room to expand. 

You need to know they can float the business for awhile and have deeper pockets when not a national tenant.

I've cranked away on the numbers and they look good enough for the property to just barely float using the 50% rule.

Banks are hedging their bets on inflation.They don't want to lock up money at low lending rates on the commercial side for a long period of time.They want to re-lend that money at much higher rates.Just like you trying to get a better long term rate it becomes "all about the money".Some of my clients have LIBOR loans that float around 3.5% interest.Because of the market their interest rate has stayed very low in the 3's for years.With these types of loans it could balloon at any time.Currently I am selling some of their properties and the other long term ones they are re-financing and locking in the best terms possible."

Moving forward is it best to purchase property B and float two mortgages until property A sells?

However, we are mostly interested in appreciation with enough rental income to float us through rather than monthly income production.
