I was hoping to start back up in September, but it seems like the Delta variant might be ruining those plans.

AirBnB mentioned on their earnings call that they expect to see a drop in Q3 revenue due to the Delta variant. 

You will find a sizable price delta between Fishtown and "West Kensington" even for similar builds.

Personally, I think the delta between what you have and current conventional rates will be a wash and you'd just have longer to pay.

The insurance company is on the hook for the delta between the death benefit and the cash value.

Leverage is positive when the cap rate of the property exceeds the loan rate.So if a property produces a 6% cap rate (remember cap rate has NOTHING to do with financing) and you can finance the property at 4%, 6% - 4% equals a positive 2%, leverage is positive and financing will increase returns.The converse is also true: a 4% cap rate property financed at 6% is an example of negative leverage and financing decreases returns.The delta between cap rate and loan rate is a big part of the investors cash flow and profit.Big picture high level, if cap rate exceeds loan rate, borrow as much as you can.

As a data point, Entergy reported that Ida resulted in more damage to poles than Katrina, Ike, Delta and Zeta combined . . . . more than 30,000 poles were damaged in Ida.Considering how severe the storm was, power is being restored very quickly and with limited flooding in New Orleans, the city should be coming back to some sense of normalcy in time to support the convention . . . . . but the Bigger Pockets team will be monitoring the situation and keeping us up to speed as conditions evolve.

Maybe Delta is scaring folks? 

They were mainly using the delta variant of Covid to try to justify the extension of the moratorium.

I would like to search for properties (commercial and/or residential) with a higher delta between Gross and Rental Square Footages.
