Our mortgage rate is 3.9 so I dont want to sell the house and instead hold it for the long haul.

Is this a reasonable rate??

I know that generally interest rates on Second Homes are greater than on personal homes but are the rates equal to Rental properties?

IMO, non-recourse is a scam way to justify increasing rates to borrowers. 

This would include user verification, deal posting, and investment tracking.Pros:Higher potential for user engagement and transaction volume.Addresses a more significant need in the real estate investment space.Potential for greater revenue through transaction fees and premium subscriptions.Cons:More complex to build, requiring robust user verification and secure transaction handling.Higher initial investment of time and resources.I have already received strong positive feedback from my Dealsletter subscribers, with many expressing interest in a more comprehensive platform.

Is it fair to assume that hypothetical three neighboring vacant lots (1st totally flat = fully usable, 2nd - 50%-50%, 3rd = only 10% can be developed), with a similar acreage, should fall under different tax rates?

Austin was recently deemed one of the top "boomtowns" in the country based on a study by CoWorking Cafe ranking America's "boomtowns" based on population growth, GDP, employment rates, and other economic factorsFort Worth came in at No. 2 with 64 points, beating Austin in the report's ranking of top cities with a 500,000+ population.

@Nathan Sherwood  my most recent oil tenant found a company whose "service plan fee" included a cleaning fee and was about equal to the cleaning fee I pay for my furnace. 

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Therefore, I will need to raise rents significantly to get closer to the pro forma market rent rate.
