However the event of default just gives the holder or beneficiary of the security interest the RIGHT to accelerate all payments and call the note due..

For example, I have a main account that is for my holding company, sub-accounts for each property, and sub-sub accounts for security deposits and things like CapEx for each property.

Post '08' people had the luxury to analyze for "cheap" vs the pre-'08' pricing and feel a sense of security in there current price acquisitions.

Of course "hoping" rates will come down is not a sound strategy so finding a way to assume a loan that already took advantage of low rates is a great option.If you were starting over and targeted a large SFH, would you try to maintain the property in a way that would still attract regular homebuyers (not investors) if you needed to sell?
