Quote from @Mary Holland: I'd love to hear about your experiences and how they compare to other types of commercial real estate financing.

The time to close might be harder I would look at heloc.

It’s too soon tell but from what I’m seeing the hit on the Federal workforce is also impacting contractors throughout the DMV… I expect panic selling which increases inventory, however, with higher interest rates, which will likely continue upwards if tariffs & deporting our cheap labor comes to fruition, first time homebuyers are shut out.  

I have invested with financial attunement (Neil Bawa was a partner at the time), emails still include him.

Don't waste time and keep looking. 

Common fees will include a set-up fee, leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

New kitchen, bathroom, counter tops and appliances throughout the home, including new HVAC.

Using 50% rule (expenses excluding P&i is 50% of rent) here are the numbers;1800 (rent) - $900 (expenses) - 1468 (heloc) = negative $568/monthAt your rent point with that size unit, your expenses will ve less than depicted by the 50% rule, so let’s use a likely more accurate 40%1800 - 720 (expenses) - 1468 = negative $388/monthNow let’s imagine you self manage and you time is not worth anything (I strongly recommend believing your time is worth less or worth less than a quality PM would charge) with 8% further reduction so expenses are down to 32%1800 - 576 (expenses) - 1468 = negative $244/month.
