They're $99, rated 4.5 stars and I've never had a problem with one. 

Hard money loans can be an option, but they often come with high-interest rates and short repayment terms.

Tenants are more likely to trust landlords who demonstrate a commitment to fairness and legal standards, leading to better occupancy rates and long-term success.Adapting to regulatory changes is an essential part of being a successful real estate investor.

It's free to sign up for an account and the savings account has a very competitive interest rate.

Combine that with insurance raising rates not just for dropping licensee count, but also to cover increased lawsuit risks.

Year over year we've seen impressive appreciation rates and often times investors are able to re-sell at a profit a year later with minimal to no work.

However, other factors will matter, and the rates of taxation are different for different components of this Step 3 result.

The bank will make you leave 25% equity in the property - but you also still want the property to at least cash flow some - so be careful how much equity you pull out / new debt you take on.I would do a cost benefit analysis of what your actual gain is in cash-flow on buying a new property with a (currently) higher interest rate (if financing), versus just holding on to the current appreciated property and enjoying that cash flow.All the best!

We wouldn't get as much money but the rate of return may be just as high or higher if we are able to keep the closing costs low.2.

You could also get a line of credit for about $150k (you should be able to borrow 75% of the value.)The reason I suggest this is…1) you save $40-$60k in selling costs. 2) you have a lower blended interest rate (2/3rds at 3.25% and 1/3rd at 7 or 8% instead of the whole $500k at 7 or 8%) saving you another $1k/mo in interest. 3) you only pay interest on that $150k when you actually use it, not from day 1  Unless you hate this property, or want to buy something you can’t afford without selling, that would be my plan.
