Charge the tenants a higher rent rate and include utilities with their rent.

Areas like these typically have low vacancy rates and high rental demand.

Not sure if it is truly discounted or if you have to keep trying. 

If I don't go that route though, moving out in a year and renting out at market rates will still be a decent return.

Purchase price: $443,000 Cash invested: $60,000 I've included the mortgage, a 5% rental vacancy rate, and a 5% capex reserve.

My brother is interested in selling his house to me, however, I’d like to keep the existing 2.9% interest rate on his mortgage.

I thought it was their job to look everywhere to find the best rate and terms.

Now with the borrowing rates being where they are, I'm not sure if that's a good financial move.

As for mortgage rates coming to the rescue...

I offer homeowners a contingency plan best on their family needs and their times it is not in their best interest or best solution where they may need either sell their home to an investor for a discount or in market value.
