At 3.6% APR you pay $300 monthy -- forever.-- or until you pay back a lump sum of $100k.It sounds crazy, but it can be useful in a pinch to allow you to secure a good deal quickly, then refinance later with a "normal" loan.

Hello BP Family, I plan to get a Pre-Approval soon to better understand the price range and types of properties I should be looking at for my first House Hack.

Portfolio lending at least from my experience adds 1-1.5% to your APR compared to term loans.No reason to move those good rates over unless you have to. 

Not a great ROI, but safe and steady for an old guy.I'm running the numbers for my 30 year old son purchasing a new $125K SFH with $10K down and 3.7% APR / 30 years, renting it out at $1,125 and I will PM for him at not cost. 

planning down payment : $100Kloan amount : $300Kloan rate : 4.5 APR fixed for 30 yearsCap rate : 7.5%Monthly cash flow : $865Cash on Cash ROI : 10%Does this seem OK?

If your a one-off home buyer I have a pre-approval letter from a lender that almost guarantees me that you can buy.
