Quote from @Dylan Webb: Have you talked to a lender to see what it would cost you?

You pay your agent at closing (think of it as an additional closing cost) Depending of the situation and of these options can be used by you and your agent to negotiate with the seller.

It’s smart that you’re looking into multifamily options, it can really help offset your living expenses while building long-term wealth.When analyzing deals, some key things to focus on are rental comps, vacancy rates, and property management costs.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Assuming your debt is SUPER cheap and only costs you 12% you’ll save $22,800 TAX FREE  So the combination is saving $60k at 12% (or more) is $7,200/yr and $130k in the bank at only 4.5% is another $5,850/yr  so you’re over $13k GUARANTEED instead of a chance to make $7,200 before taxes  

For the financial side they hire third year financial analysts (3 years removed from college) because they cost one quarter of what a qualified employee would cost.  

You may be able to see if a retailer still sells the 2024 version.If you can't get the one time purchase, you would need to see if the cost is beneficial.For real estate -  Quickbooks desktop > Quickbooks online because you can set up multiple entities within quickbooks desktop and not pay an additional cost per entity that Quickbooks online would charge you.Best of luck! 

Which ok, I get it, ACH cost money, BUT, RentRedi does not give the landlord the option to pay that.
