Interest rates around 6% but looking to move for work.

If I'm understanding correctly, we could keep our 1st duplex with the FHA loan (until rates lower then we'll refinance) and then still use an FHA loan for our 2nd duplex since we have lived there for over a year?

I checked rates and your scenario can be done with 3 discount points so that leads me to believe the broker has set their comp a little too high.

Purchase price: $900,000 Cash invested: $100,000 In an investing environment where intrest rates are high, creative financing can help maximize cash flow.

A quick Google search shows that Class C in Dallas gives a 5.75% cap rate.

Before I left, we had an average rating of 4.93 across many markets and channels. 

DSCR is a better option on rates and cost compared to Fannie and Freddie loans.  

I even offered a discount for the first month rent, and I'm either getting flaky people or scams.

Buy when rates are low, lend when rates are high.

Just ask your broker for a discount.
