It's always hardest to get started but now you got the ball rolling.

Now is it better to pay the closing costs out of pocket or roll it into the loan?

We had very few seam issues, and it seems as if most of the issues I read about happened when people did not follow all the installation instructions (rolling the seams).

This would add about 3500 in insurance premium to your mortgage balance (you may be able to pay the premium up-front rather than roll it into the mortgage)With an insured mortgage, if you were to go with a 5-yr term variable rate product, you should be looking at an interest rate between 2.4 & 2.7%.  

Correct w/ no MI, but the rate is higher, so a but if a push - except that the extra rate never rolls off once you hit 78% LTV on the amortization schedule. 

For example, for one building I was just looking at in Chicago the rent roll indicated that CHA subsidies were anywhere from 61-94% of the total rent for the three Section 8 tenants.Thanks for sharing Polina and good luck.Larry

It takes a lot of effort to get the wheels rolling, but once that momentum hits, it doesn't take much to turn it up a notch or two. 

You know what you're doing now so just keep it rolling with your profits.
