I had a Subject 2 or wrap deal fall apart last month, getting title insurance and a closing attorney willing to close the deal were among the many issues.

I looked at Sapphire pretty hard last year, and made a couple of offers there, but in the end decided it wasn't the market for me.

I have two questions regarding mortgage interest tax deductions.First, last year, I purchased a HUD property at a significant discount and used a $70,000 HELOC from my primary residence for the down payment.

Had that happen to me last summer.

Lastly, the price point is still very cheap here in the sense that you can still find investment deals that hit the 1% rule for 120-180k!

The total appreciation of $172,500, assuming an average annual return of 4.3% over 30 years, would be approximately $609,984. curious why the last calculation is using a rate of 4.3%? 

I was last getting terms around 5-6% for the first 5 years, then floating with prime, 20 year term. 

So in my mind it would be best used as a last move into a REIT you never sell.  

Has it developed much in the last 5 years? 

To minimize time the property is vacant, have the Realtor coordinate with the existing Tenant for the last 30 days of their occupancy for showings so you have the best possible chance of securing a new Tenant without a break in between.I would love to know some of the details of your property, and do a rental rate check up to confirm you have the right price.
