Depends on the property and level of damage?

I did a quick review of Furnished Finer in Midvale, UT and it looks like your price estimate is about in line with the market but there is of course a bit of range depending on exact location/level of furnishing, amenities, etc.

Not for lower rates, not for lower prices, and not for anything else.

If you can swing living in one of the units of your new multi it could help to lower the rate on your loan by about a point, which I highly recommend.The process is almost the same but your inspection is going to cost more and you'll have to take over the leases of the tenants already in place.

It may also be beneficial to require a co-signer for the lease, especially if the tenants are college students with limited credit history.When writing up the lease, clearly outline the rules and expectations for the property, including noise levels, guest policies, and maintenance responsibilities.

There's ways to do this in the beginning at a lower cost but there's always an investment. 

The increase in interest rates follows a similar pattern as the one seen between 2004-07, however I believe that there is one major difference that makes today's market less likely to see a similar surge in delinquencies: a lower % of variable rate mortgages (Figure 2).

Check Your Area’s Water Level: Often overlooked, especially by new investors unfamiliar with septic systems, the effectiveness of a septic system hinges on its leach fields.

Rates are still historically low, and I’ve seen with clients refinancing they may have a higher loan (from pulling cash out) but their over all monthly payment is comparable to what they are used to because of the lower rate.

Good point, yes a house hack would be more of an owner-occupied loan with a lower downpayment instead of a DCSR loan.
