Read some of the success stories on here and you'll be amazed at what some people were able to achieve in a relatively short period of time.

What would you estimate your investment horizon/holding period to be on a multifamily investment and what would you estimate your cost of funds to be?

If a property has been marketed to the public for a sufficient period of time, meets market conditions, what you paid IS the market value. 

If the snow fall persists - say over 2-3 days - the service will periodically open the driveways/parking lots during the course of the storm.

@Anthony Newbold Not so much they want you to, its something that they recommend you do - Form HUD-92564-CN so perhaps wrong use of words on my part.I tried to wave the inspection on one property (prior knowledge of this property) and HUD still wanted the 10 day inspection period.

Anyways this home is in such a quiet area I might just live in it for a long period and enjoy it. 

When rents are raised a substantial amount in a short period it can be a shock to the tenant.

I think I mentioned it is leased by the government so the steps taken are time consuming and  maintenance will not be completed before my due diligence period. 

I personally favor equity, because I can be approved for a line of credit at any time, and simply not tap it for an extended period of time, and have it readily available to me should I choose to use it.

I believe cash-out refi has a holding period regulation.I realize there are hard money lenders, and P2P funding.
