i have 2 properties that had wind damage , Both were covered , both same insurance company and this was 4 years ago and rates didnt go up much at all . 

I just returned from a local real estate where I had a conversation with a young man named Frank.

From my experience I would avoid it as a seller unless I was getting a large down payment, a larger purchase price, or a higher than market interest rate. 

To the degree, one is realistic, the probability of finding a replacement property increase.Say you want to sell a fourplex to trade into and buy via 1031 a 20 unit apartment building.And the market cap rate is 6% but you want to buy something that offers a 6.5% cap rate, you probably won’t be able to find it.

I am getting ready to purchase my first rental property in Oklahoma City, OK and I’m looking at an home that is priced under $80,000.I plan to put 25% down to get the best rate.I’m from California and haven’t run into this before... but it seems like there are lending minimums and a conventional loan of $60,000 isn’t something I’m finding easily.I could likely get a hard money loan or get a HELOC on my primary residence and purchase the home with cash... but I don’t like these options because the interest rates are higher than a Conventional loan.Besides hard money or a HELOC, are there any suggestions on how to get this smaller loan at a reasonable rate?
