Would like to start our REI journey by converting our primary single family home into a rental.

My primary property is a 3/2 1266 SF home on a 7500 lot.

Over the last 5 days, LGI Homes dropped by 13.91%, Tri Pointe Homes by 9.91%, Toll Brothers by 9.25%, and Meritage Homes by 8.94%.What is there to look forward to?

This caused it to get less traction as other homes at the same size.

Hello Everyone,I bought a home back in January 2024 using my FHA loan and I received a call from Atlantic Capital Funding saying that I could FHA streamline (interest reduction) from my 6.625% to 5.7% and could even get two mortgage payments covered, (allegedly).

It is also a little bit of speculation on my part that 1) home values will continue to appreciate at or above the inflation rate and 2) that eventually rates may drop 1 - 2% (I am at 7.5% on my most recent refinance) and will be able to do a cashout refi in 2 - 5 years.What are other's thoughts on this?

So one Primary, one Investment and one Vacation/Second home.

Recently I've seen a massive increase of homeowners rolling up their sleeves and taking on DIY projects either on their primary homes or on their rental properties.

Hello,Looking to speak with an expert in the spec home lending space.

Here's why:While rents have increased, the home values have increased even more.
