What percent are private lenders getting in this climate?

In the last cycle—and I don’t think we’ll have that kind of downturn again in our lifetime—workforce housing performed extremely well.”The reason workforce housing is well positioned, even better than class-A apartments, is because in a downturn, most workforce housing renters will stay put, and many renters in the luxury segment will bump down to workforce housing.

Most of our properties have had all investment extracted for infinite return, but more units with lower rate of return can equate to larger profits (not as a percent, but in dollars). 

Having 20 or 30 percent of your portfolio without leverage provides a stable cash flow to weather most storms.

What minimum percent down is reasonable to achieve and still obtain a competitive rate (let’s say 4.5% or so right now)?

What percent of profit is acceptable?

You could probably expect the refinance to come in at market +.5 percent cap rate for fixed up units.

But keep in mind it can be 25 percent above or below whatever it tells you. 2nd is look at similar listings for those dates.

@Brett Durfee,I own a property in North Hollywood and if you are looking for an accurate tax percent you can do it in 2 steps:1. go to the LA County Assessor site, type in the address, and look for the Tax Rate Area (TRA) which is a number that looks like 00012.2.

You're describing just a bit above one percent of your net worth in income.
