I live in Central MA and am looking for a new property(s) to buy and hold in CT. 

Our rep never responded.We eventually got a hold of the manager through another Lendbase employee.

Quote from @Hunter Hanlon Taylor: Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

We spend about $10-15/foot on our buy and hold apartment renovations.

Splitting the gift across multiple years may reduce immediate tax reporting but requires appraisals, legal documentation and proper structuring.If the house is highly appreciated, holding it for inheritance may be more tax-efficient because the recipient would receive a stepped-up basis to the FMV at the time of your passing, eliminating much of the capital gains tax liability.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Holding this for 1 month (hoping that's enough to refi) that's $5k.So my aim is to save money overall by making a cash offer and close it soon.

We have a great interest rate, which is what is making us want to hold on to it, but it just might not be worth it when we can use the equity to get us in a better position. 

This strategy can be particularly effective for investors like yourself looking to manage and expand their holdings efficiently.

Be sure to hold a hefty reserve to handle on-going maintenance, capex, taxes, and insurance.

What I was referring to was that I know two private lenders who have the borrower complete the Deed in Lieu documents at the Closing of the initial loan and then hold them in escrow during the life of the loan.
