Quote from @Ryan Zimmerman: @Joe Norman What would be an example of the rate/terms I would get on a conventional loan to buy an investment property? 

Not only that but when you are in a portfolio loan and would like to for example sell one and break it out then most lenders will want to be paid back 120% of the balance attached to that piece of property back into the principle of the loan

Typically, this would be lenders or mortgagees so that they are notified in the event there is a lapse in coverage or a non-renewal.

For example I have quiet hours, driveway access, trash days, etc.

One question I now have is the following: do states typically allow you a Schedule to deduct expenses like maintenance and repair, or is that just a federal thing? 

Lowest down payment requirements, typically only need to occupy for 6 months, can take cash out like any other property and effectively "BRRR" minus the rehab. 

- For example, if the other unit is occupied with the same number of tenants, 50%.2) I also would like to increase the security deposit.

We as a firm have investors working with us who have short term rental properties all over the US for example big and small.Finding a real estate-focused tax professional and one who can help with advisory and grow with you would be my suggestion to focus your efforts on finding.

But that will not get rid of vibration which is typically worse. 

There are reasons that people choose not to go solar, but financials are typically not one of those.
