If you have a $100,000 loan at 3.75% and that goes up to 5.25% but your able to get another 50-100k out the additional cost on your current loan is only $1500 per year which is a small price to pay to go create some other opportunity that over the life of that second investment can yield you $50,000-$150,000.My biz partner told me years back, "Don't step over quarters to pick up pennies", which to me most of the time translates to calculate the money you are not making by taking that next step vs the money you are trying to save.

On the one hand, this is a good thing, as we have the opportunity to turn over those vacant units and rent them out at market rates.

Yes, the house may rent for $1400 and cost 200k, but are there other opportunities to get more rental income out of the property?

At the same time you typically will NOT find rates for fixed rate mortgages.Since you specifically mention "private" notes, I personally believe public records are what you actually want, and the best opportunity - why buy stuff other buyers or servicers don't want when you can go directly to the source? 

To me it was a no brainer - had I focused on dollar per door I wouldn’t of been able to see this opportunity.

As a new investor looking at a few BRRRR opportunities in Tulsa, OK, this is a great thread to follow.Thanks so much! 

I told him I can purchase the property as is, no need to fix anything. he told me he can't sell the property with that type of problem. im not sure if it has something to do with legal issues or if he just does not want to sell until he fixes that himself. the conversation didn't gave me the opportunity to ask this question at that moment.
