In anticipation of moving forward, I'm going to start working on the agreement.

If it's just a refi i'm anticipating rates to go back down to historic lows at the end of the year

I anxiously await your reply.Thanks for your anticipated response.Have a great evening!

Trying to purchase sfrs currently and it is not as easy as I had anticipated.

The regional guy you spoke with will not be contacting you any more because they have brought in the agent.When the paperwork goes back higher it will get about 3 seconds worth of review "Why is this higher than we anticipated"....

Instead of the 10% down $825/month payment I was anticipating, the local bank has offered two solutions15 yr @ 5.75% of $1420/month - deal doesn't work at this number10 yr/20 yr am with the rate fixed at $1,187 with a balloon payment at 10 year - deal doesn't work at this number either. 

We knew it was a fixer upper that needed major work but the inspectors found more termite damage than anticipated and even evidence of a previous fire.

How much would you anticipate making?

Its all a matter of how well you can manage the debt and any problems that occur that you don't anticipate.

The anticipated higher cash flow ( 2% ) rent to purchase price can be quickly wiped out for years with high capex and a bad tenant.
