You want to see something that has low or no seasoning for a cash out refi or that may require low amount of documents.What is your draw fee & benchmarks for the repairs portion of the borrowed money?

I am looking for an integrated firm, which is not just filing paperwork but also guiding me based on benchmarks and best practices before(thesis formation etc), during(filing, guidance on timelines, capital call cadence etc) and after(investor portal recs, communication best practices etc).Are there any such providers out there?

It’s tough to understand if something is a good deal or not if you don’t have any bench marks set up.You should work with an investor focused agent to set up some benchmarks.

@Clay Cook, as Justin noted, there is no right or wrong answer, since variable is just that and no one has a crystal ball.You clearly know your spread and current benchmark rate, so you have an idea of where the rate will be for the next few months.  

But would you guys use comparable SFH as a benchmark? 

Following seven consecutive weeks of increases, benchmark mortgage rates have finally dipped.

I find myself wondering if I should be doing two COC calculations, one for my personal returns, and the other for an attempt at benchmarking.

But I would first figure out what it is you are looking for, as Randall pointed out, having a benchmark will make locking in a purchase much easier.

Some people may take negative COC if the appreciation is good enough, others may want 30% ROI.I'd probably have a benchmark of 12% ROI or more.  

Using 3x the rent as an income benchmark will help avoid people trying to force themselves into thinking they can afford the unit when they may not be able to do so.
