Nothing that paying for a 3rd party app to automate functions will fix.If I had to pick something it would be getting higher occupancy rates.Overall things are great.

Transaction volumes continue to be slowed with days on market increasing, but Sellers are remaining defiant and not coming off too much of their higher prices.

It's definitely possible to get a loan as a foreigner but the rates will be high(er) and the downpayment required will be as well.

The higher the cap rate, the more risk involved in the building. 

We will be moving but I like to owner finance what is left on the mortgage at a higher interest rate because I do not need to pay it off to qualify for our next home. 

Specifically, must this be a commercial/business loan type where you have higher rates and shorter loan life or is there an alternative loan type? 

BUT The points they charge and interest are both way higher than normal, on some deals I ran numbers the points and interest were going to be 20k on properties where the ARV is 100k so you have to get properties at such a low price to make it work that it is so hard.

Yea they would keep that in place and you'd get a second position mortgage for the rest at, well, higher than todays rates.

Like you, when I'm working with clients I highlight the key advantages of the conventional rehab loans (Fannie Mae's Homestyle and Freddie Mac's CHOICERenovation) are:- They can be used for investment properties- You can include luxury items- They have a higher limit – $806,500 in most places.Jeff

A fair entry point seems closer to $225,000-$250,000, but the terms of financing could justify going slightly higher if cash flow can cover the payments.
