They have had 100% occupancy at market rates and currently bring in around $2,000 per month in cash flow.

Depends on the brokerage you have, but the one we use currently has a rate at 5.83% at 50% LTV.

They're $99, rated 4.5 stars and I've never had a problem with one. 

Huge thanks to Bo Stevens from Jean D'arc credit union, for helping me get a solid loan with a 6% interest rate with a super smoothe process.

The bank will make you leave 25% equity in the property - but you also still want the property to at least cash flow some - so be careful how much equity you pull out / new debt you take on.I would do a cost benefit analysis of what your actual gain is in cash-flow on buying a new property with a (currently) higher interest rate (if financing), versus just holding on to the current appreciated property and enjoying that cash flow.All the best!

I looked at their booking calendar one time and thought it was pretty empty.I guess you don't know until you try...and probably depends on if you want high occupancy or high rate?

This influx is limiting rent growth nationwide, particularly in the Sun Belt, where oversupply has led to rent declines.Nationwide, vacancy rates edged down to 7.8% as move-ins outpaced move-outs.

Hard money loans can be an option, but they often come with high-interest rates and short repayment terms.

Tenants are more likely to trust landlords who demonstrate a commitment to fairness and legal standards, leading to better occupancy rates and long-term success.Adapting to regulatory changes is an essential part of being a successful real estate investor.
