Insurance-  does contract require you to be added every year as Additional Insured?  

@Clayton SilvaI think you covered a lot of the angles - the answer is “it depends” - every person is in a different situation and stage of life and some may want to pay points and others maybe not.Right now I would not be buying down the loan knowing the fed will lower rates, which should slowly bring down the 10 year T which would then lower ratesFor me I would guess I would refi within next 3 years so I wouldn’t pay pointsIf I thought I was not gonna refi within 5-7 years then yes pay points

I looked in the forum and there were some old posts about contractor referrals but most of them were 5+ years old and I wasn't able to find half of the names mentioned by googling. 

Dealpath seems like it could be a great fit if we scale as projected over the next 3 years, but I want to make sure we're choosing the best tool for our needs.Ideally, we're looking for software that allows us to integrate our existing Excel models and helps with deal organization and KPI tracking.

On a SFR, it is $10-$20 more per year. 

and takes at least a year .

If you are planning to do a few of them or even just a couple a year, it might be good to check in with a broker that is familiar with the space and has the connections and knowledge to help get you what you need. 

I converted to long-term, have a lot less to deal with, and I'm only making about $2,000 less a year.
