Just ask your broker for a discount.

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.

I tried to contact Edward- the sales guy listed on their website and he just told me because they gave me a discount, there is no credit for the the $149 fee that I paid to talk to a lawyer.

Current Loan Balance: 100,952Interest rate: 3.75Mortgage payment + insurance/taxes: $1066Rent: $1500/monthEstimated current value: 227k Current cashflow: $369/ month, I also have a first american home warranty on it $68/month so after everything I net about $300/ month. 

My mortgage payments are currently $2,841.40/month and my property management fees are 4% (I'm striking a deal with a property manager I trust so I'm super thankful for them giving me such a low rate).

The interest rates are too high, the projects always run long, and you will deplete your margin by using a construction loan.  

It'll tell you a $500k conventional mortgage was recorded in July 2021, you can infer from the ownership record that it was a refi (same owner before/after), and you can ballpark that rates were around 3%, assume it's a 30YF, so the balance "should" be X, but you have no way to know if they made a large lump sum payment, pay extra each month, etc. 

We have a interest rate around 3% on the SFH, purchased in 2021, so doing any refinancing with that doesn't seem to make sense.

According to HUD Fair Market Rental Rates for 2024, the market rent for each unit in the 34608 zip code is $1,700 per month.While the units are in good condition, consider updating the kitchen, bathrooms, and fixtures and adding a fresh coat of paint for a fix-and-flip strategy.
