Its a more saturated market now due to low barrier to entry and all of the "guru's" selling Arbitrage online to folks.

@Andrew Steffens - See above@John Underwood - see above@Jay Thomas - yes... agree and have thought of future appreciation although the house is so big (5,000 ft2)that it will take me so many repairs bit by bit that I feel like it will get to be time to start Renovating back at the begin again by the time I get to the 'end' of the renovation. haha creative financing is indeed the only option at that point - but then leverage becomes a larger stress point than being mortgage free-ish and just cash flowing 'passively'. also to note is that my town just approved a giant tax bill increase and I already pay 12k a year *insert eye roll emoji* 

Our mortgage payments started at $2300, but due to increasing property taxes and insurance, they have alarmingly risen to just under $3300.

Keith Andrews Home Team was absolutely fantastic, and Mark Kong at Evolution Mortgage was the best lender I've ever worked with, particularly with VA loans!

You don't need to move a few or less mortgaged properties into an LLC.

Now you have a brand new property that has no mortgage, rents for $2,000 a month with $300 a month in taxes, insurance ect…profit $1,700 a month.

Hi @Wyatt Fike, when it comes to buying a house, the lender has one primary focus when it comes to qualifying you for a mortgage.

Builder ends up screwing us over and we are out $250k which we are in the process of trying to get back.In the meantime, I'm trying to get a private or hard money loan to finish the buildsCurrent mortgage 273,000Rehab 1 - 150,000Rehab 2 - 150,000Current value for both places approx $350,000ARV $1,000,000 for bothPlan is to refinance and hold as STRI feel that these numbers are reasonable - am I missing something?

Hey Everyone,I would like to see if it's possible or if it would make sense to wrap my 6 investment property mortgages into one 30-year mortgage.

(date the rate, marry the mortgage)TLDR: home 1: House on navigable water 2/3 acre. interest 2.75% @ $288k remaining... monthly payment: $1650/mo, rents: $3000/mo, net after expenses: $500/mo and goes up to $1000 after 5 years.home 2: 7% interest @ $550k in the school district we want and nicer home.I want to time the interest rates correctly so they don't go down and prices go up and we get priced out of the market.
