I am closing on a multi-family (3-4 units) buy & hold investment in East Boston.
Purchase price: $969,000Down Payment/ Closing Costs: $113,000I am in the process of buying my first property, using a 2 for 1 buydo...

Cash flow is $720, and Cap Rate is 6.2%, and the home value is still growing.

Currently I own a property in Sacramento with enough backyard lot that has Alley access and my current Mortgage is at a 2.5% rate and don't want to touch or affect it.I am in the process of considering a lot split with a plan to build a new doublex unit in the split lot with hard money or a construction loan. 

does the  house have dirt up next to the foundation  keeping  water away from the crawl space ?

I am looking to buy again in the next six months.Here’s the situation:I own a home in San Diego, currently worth about $1.05 million once the ADU is built.I owe $680k on the mortgage at 4.25%, with monthly payments around $5,500.The property generates $7,500 in monthly income: $5,200 from the main house as a vacation rental and about $2,300 from the ADU as a mid-term rental.My broker is advising me to do a cash-out refinance and switch to a DSCR loan, then move the property into my LLC.I’m hesitant because current interest rates are around 8%, and I was originally considering a HELOC due to these high rates.Given the high rates, would you recommend sticking with the HELOC, or does the DSCR loan make more sense in the long run?

I’m also putting together my “dream” team and interviewing attorneys, title companies, lenders, real estate brokers, contractors and magicians so I’ll be fully prepared when the 100 postcards I send out to randomly selected people results in the 14 offers to sell their notes that represents the average 14% response rate to junk mailings.

I'm assuming that I could probably do an STR in Lakeland Florida, but don't think because of the location that I'd get good revenue.Who can give me some insight as to whether doing something like this or mid term for nurses has been beneficial for a 5 bedroom 3 bath house.

It was one of those situations where someone really needed a lifeline—the seller was facing foreclosure and had just 30 days before his house went to auction.
