This will vary based on region but in general 2 – 5 points, 9% - 16% APR (meaning this is the annual rate so divide it by 12 to get the monthly interest amount), and documents fees can be from $600 – $1,900.

We've never used percentage-based criteria, like the 70% Rule, for purchases.

If you do choose to invest out of state, the best advice I could give you based on what I have observed running a local real estate group here for over a decade is build your own team.

Not sure if the upstairs tenant (heavyset person with a dog) plays a role.Seeking suggestions.

As others said out of state can be more challenging based on location but local or out of state both can be done. 

Contractors play such a huge role in real estate projects.

Experiences will vary significantly based upon location.

If its the business then asset based lenders may be interested.

I’ll definitely make that a priority as I build my team.I also appreciate your point about using different contractors based on the scope of work.
