I bought it at the peak of the market. 

Home equity is 6-7% depending on length 5yrs vs 15yrs a 30 yr mortgage is 6%...Ideally rental stays rented out bringing in 1/2 of mortgage payment on new house based on numbers and is already cash flow positive bring in $1200/month (worth about 180k)and new property is going for 240k going rental price is about $2,000/month but I owe 18k still on private mortgage- reason I want to pay it off (4% flat 720 interest from cc for 1 year) to have it 100% paid off, then use home equity to pay off....or try to balance transfer balance after 1 yr which ever is lower but I figured that would mess with debt to income ratio and with this property being brand new, which is hard to find being located outside of closest major city...goal is to keep house rented out till it's paid off while also being cash flow positive with both properties combined and using paid off/ nearly paid off 1 to pay for 2nd rental, so I'd say lowest debt while also building wealth/equity not worried about a monthly/yearly profit per say as long as someone else is paying down the mortgage ie: my current property is bringing in $1200/month but current market value says it should bring in atleast $1500-$1600 but the tenant is phenomenal so she's paid same rent since 2017 I've put about 36k into between mortgage payments for 2 years and some up keep...she's put in the other 130k!!

I think because the majority of people who refinanced during COVID are holding up, we don't see much inventory in the market.

Rates seem to be steadily declining.Top MarketsCalifornia, Florida, and Texas are leading the pack as the hottest markets for short-term loans.

And they’d ALWAYS respond with “oh man, I wish I could do that.

We have a few lenders that will go 90% LTC on flips and 80% LTV on rental properties in the OH market.

For illustration purposes, what are the benefits of acquiring 100 units if they are located in a C/D market with terrible fundamentals and no reasonable expectation they will appreciate?

Is this wishful thinking or how could it be structured? 

As a broker in the South Florida market, I've witnessed the opportunities Miami offers.

If you have enough market data to support your income projections you should be good to go.Lenders don't like Airbnb's much though so maybe you can pitch it to them as a rental?
