I want them to see the total picture and then keep whittling down to where they get close to say a 5% error rate. 

So if you have the property for a total of 10 years, moved in at year 8, little value or tax advantage.

This totally would have been a deal breaker had I known before signing up, but now I'm too far into it to turn back, so I need to make something work.  

Nd what housing is currently attracting the highest CoC and total returns potential - studio - 1bd, 2 - 4bd, or 5+bd?  

Then over the course of the first year or so, if you could raise the rents by a total of $1k/mo (they are currently $2k, $1k, and $1k), then you might be able to pull out about $60k-$80k in a cash out refi. 

But to blame only the leftist - Democrats is totally unfair.  

If you do it right, it’s arguably the best market to invest.Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: .9%-1.4% rule dealsCoc ROI: 5-12%Total ROI: 20-40%Cash flow: $50-$250/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B-These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

It can totally be done, even in this market.

I'd do it on a terms deal. 3yr in total. 

Any unused funds from the engagement fee are typically credited to the borrower at loan closing, reducing your total cash to close.
