.- Perhaps you think rates are going to move lower.

I am looking at my first rental property investment, with the current rates and San Diego pricing cashflow is very hard, so I wonder if I should remove tax property and insurance from my cashflow calculations as they are 100% deductible at some point.

You cannot spend too much time on any one door because you cannot charge beyond the market rate for any single door, so each door needs to follow the process efficiently and precisely. 

Here are a few: I just saw a LinkedIn post with a sponsor talking about how they are underwriting using cap rate compression, meaning that in 5 years the sales price cap rate will be 50 bps lower than the purchase cap rate. 

The math behind is like this 175k loan is roughly mortgage payment of 1408 per month ( This is with 9% interest rate, DSCR tend to be 1-2% higher ) + insurance and Taxes.

We're considering our options for moving forward.Numbers:Purchased for ~ $230,000 (2.5% interest)Remaining balance ~ $220,000Appreciated to ~ $400,000Cash flow is ~ $500 a month after setting aside for all reservesOptions we're considering:1- Cash out refinance- at current market rates, rough estimate is that we could access close to $100,000 in equity, but our cash flow would go to $0 or possibly negative for a period.2- Sell now - if we sell before the end of the summer, we could still qualify for living in the property for 2 out of the last 5 years for the additional tax benefits.

My CoC return in STL is 10% now that the buildings have stabilized, it seems like the buildings are appreciating at an acceptable rate, and I have a team that I trust there (realtor, PM, contractor, lender). 

I Don't have much cash to work with, so I'm trying to figure out my options.  100% financing is a thing because lender want to take over your project/asset for cheap ; put it that way.

And if they aren't, it will reflect in rates going much higher for the risk.

Don't get sucked in by the cheap huckster talk of owning a small slice of some multifamily project where you're not on the title and have no control.
