@Jason Wray, I totally agree with @Brandon Croucier's comments.

Quote from @Hanna Brown: @Jay Hinrichs  You mentioned Oregon and WA made foreclosure rescue lease backs totally illegal.

Total cost/sqft landed me around 30$/sqft or $36,120.

All brokers and lenders get paid for their work so 0 origination means they are increasing the rate instead of being paid at closing which doesn't usually make sense as far as the total cost of the loan. 

Currently being leased, but expect my total cash on cash return to be above the number I target.

It was a pain trying to refinance but totally worth it. 

They mentioned having two mortgages on the property worth about $400,000 in total.

CA, in total continues to lose 100k's of population and continues to add onerous legislation, including the state rent cap they passed a few years ago (doesn't apply to sfr's though).I am not sure why anyone would want to jump in the deep shark infested waters right before feeding time, unless you have a clear proven strategy, or a very long time horizon.

Total rent s/b minimum $2,250 but with housing vouches, $2,550

(The app now has a toggle button that allows users to see the total cost before taxes.I think the hotel and vacation experiences are just two different things.
