I am from Singapore and what makes me get interested with US real estate is the higher rental yield compare to Asia. 1% monthly rent from property price seems easily attainable in US, however this figure can only be obtain in Asia during the 2007-2008 subprime crisis. 

In my opinion it is malpractice to recommend a regular partnership anymore. 

I think lots of investors assume that regularly increasing rental rates are best, but I don't believe that's always the case.

We have a regular, monthly meet up, so stay tuned for a time to meet some other local investors!

Category 1 is a sub that regularly does jobs for other GCs and has a number of employees. 

will it work as a regular traditional mortgage?

If you are doing a value add, you can refinance into a regular investment loan which wouldn't need you to look for a "loophole"If you are trying to get the lowest possible rates, you are probably a little late.

I would say the best thing you could do is just stop in at the bank/credit union you regularly bank with (our regular credit union didn’t have the Absolute lowest rate but the convenience of having money available in the same institution made it worth it for us) - just walk in and say “I would like to talk to someone about a heloc”.

With BRRRR, we´ve regularly replenished our HELOC so that we can continue investing.

What are general added costs compared to a regular closing?
