An 8-plex at 1017 E MCKINLEY ST, Phoenix, AZ 85006.So ultimately, you've got a case of seller/listing agent pulling an asking price out of their rear end and completely ignoring reality.You get this for $300k (what it's worth -- or less) and your PITI drops to $1,555 and suddenly this deal makes a whole lot more sense. 

However if I go hard money, I can refi my existing property sooner, pull the cash in less than 30 days in time to cover the 25% for the 5th deal (the other 75% will be  a different PML).That said, should I wait to get approved on the conventional and risk losing this other deal or go hard money, get the 5th deal and deal with the higher interest on the hard money? 

I finished the job in 3 months and refinanced it, pulling out about $40k.  

I have never had a problem putting a new loan on them at that point with the original or a new lender at current interest rates.But that's generally because A) the properties had appreciated in value and B) there is quite a bit of principal pay-down on 20 year amm in the first 5 years.My decision has always been more about do I want to pull more money out, roll it into another 20 year product and lower the payment or continue paying it off on a 15 year schedule.To deal with those questions and answer your question about 'protection', is kind of a personal business decision.

The new appraisal may be lower than expected and you are not able to pull all your cash out.  

I pulled the old equipment and roughed the new furnace up.

@Gabriel Lamb I check websites like citydata.com or USA.com to pull data to analyze areas I am interested in investing in.

If that was me I’d be pulling a trump on her “ your fired!”

May pull the trigger on a duplex which has tennants who's lease ends in Sept and Oct.

Don't know should I pull the trigger at these prices
