Is it smart to keep refinancing into 30-year mortgages since the interest rate on that money is lower than other loans?

Also other things have always factored in such as the location of the property, the desirability of the neighborhood or town, the proximity to shopping, schools, or other attractions.

Would you raise the rents or shop harder for a better lender?

I was struggling to find good deals on SFHs, duplexes, tris, and quads because I was competing against a wider group of investors (homeowners, house hackers flippers, BRRRRers, and flippers) who were either shopping all cash or had owner occupancy financing.

Buy smart, buy right and you'll be fine.Without 2 years of taxes for your self-employment, you're going to find it very difficult to get a traditional loan.

Zillow and Apartments are nice because they are both also advertising platforms making it a one stop shop.
