Geoff McFarlane Sell our home or rent it out?
20 January 2025 | 7 replies
Treat this property as a business and factor in all the associated expenses, including mortgage payments (if you pull a loan), maintenance, and potential vacancy periods.To simplify management and make this less of a hands-on job, I’d strongly recommend working with a property management company.
John Friendas Maximum # of DSCR Loans Lenders Will Give?
22 January 2025 | 12 replies
From my understanding, as long as you intend on doing a STR when you close, there are no rules against changing your strategy after closing, especially if you find that something else is more profitable.So in our case, the lender determined an STR would bring in ~$3500/month (with all of their conservative factors), but now that we operate it as a huge 3300 sqft Co-Living property, it actually brings in $7000/month.

Their clear incentive is to bet on falling interest rates between now and debt maturity.A small handful of owners are forced to sell due to a looming balloon payment that a refi won't cover, but you're not going to find one of those by driving the market when any commercial broker can just look up properties on that basis and start making calls.

20 January 2025 | 31 replies
While less than 10% of the mortgage industry offers 40-year mortgages, here's something to factor in: they often come in with a rate increase of 20-35 bps.Assume 35 bps.$300k mortgage at 7.25% (30-year): $2,046$300k mortgage at 7.6% (40-year): $1,996Technically, it lowers the monthly, but not by much once factoring in the rate adjustment.
Andrey Y. Why I love being a Passive Investor in Syndications (30% IRR!!)
20 February 2025 | 114 replies
Let's talk about the 'upcoming economy transition'.Right now, investing in private placement syndications makes even more sense than ever. 1/3 of the dollars every created were willed into existence over the last 1.5 years, and with the cervesa sickness policies enacted, this is driving the dream of homeownership more and more unaffordable.We are going to see record rental demand going forward with huge housing unit shortages in many markets.Both passive investment in syndications and buying SFHs can fit this role, but owning rentals suffers from all the issues I outlined in my first posts.I'm usually funding 4-6 deals a year, and even with this cash position in portfolio is getting uncomfortably high.
