I think because the majority of people who refinanced during COVID are holding up, we don't see much inventory in the market.

Rates seem to be steadily declining.Top MarketsCalifornia, Florida, and Texas are leading the pack as the hottest markets for short-term loans.

We have a few lenders that will go 90% LTC on flips and 80% LTV on rental properties in the OH market.

For illustration purposes, what are the benefits of acquiring 100 units if they are located in a C/D market with terrible fundamentals and no reasonable expectation they will appreciate?

If you have enough market data to support your income projections you should be good to go.Lenders don't like Airbnb's much though so maybe you can pitch it to them as a rental?

That might not be a lot, but as market rent and appreciation comes up good in 3-5 years, these properties will look like home runs.

I found a lender that said they would do a HELOC, but they are using an automated system to value the property and they are coming up with a value of $186k, using the old information and previous sales price.

I'm looking at home equity loans for another rental property we own currently.More than likely, we'll have to put the property back on the market and find some cash to cover the difference between current construction draws and sale price.It's an expensive mistake - but we'll be back again to fight another day.
