When speaking to the owner (building rapport), your main goal is to figure out which of these main 3 is most important to them.

Hi all,With this interest rate, when should I might try to refinance to lock in a lower rate.

Passive investors who are willing to go out further on the risk spectrum, in exchange for higher potential returns.Short answer: banks won’t give all the capital needed to execute no matter how good your relationship is.

., we have a 2700sqft 4/3 lake house.We charge $250 to the guests and pay $300 to our cleaner.Now we are out of town by about 36 miles so the cleaner has to drive an hour each way so she charges us more. 

Once they drop to below our required lead flow to rent out the units when we want we'll drop it by $25.

@Bo Goebel Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

We are required to sell one of the properties (we rented it out and used it as a passive income), and I can either sell or refinance the current home I live in.

Additionally, are there micro-markets that may offer less cash flow, but more consistent and dependable tenants, rental payments, etc.?
