But because of high prices and high rates most of the properties seem to be breakeven (at best), so this may be something to look into once rates decrease.

Even if you contest it you do so after they collect the funds back from your account, which is why the consumer's bank issues a "temporary" credit during the dispute process.Essentially you burn a processor and you're done with electronic payments for 5 years.

In a perfect world, you'd cash flow while you're there, but even if you are decreasing your living expenses, then you're winning.

Granted, they may come down slightly, but I wouldn't expect a dramatic decrease anytime soon.  

As the cycle lengthens, the cash flow decreases. 

Also be aware that there are prepayment penalties on these loans so you would need to keep it for 3-5 years unless you decrease the period which will result in a higher rate 

So in most cases operating cash flow will actually decrease because you're servicing more debt (this is offset by the cash out refi so it's still usually a net gain). 

@Alyson Gordon we were originally looking at LTR for the decreased involvement and not needing to furnish a place (and some HOAs are LTR only), but I had not considered corporate housing before; from some brief research looks like this is likely a furnish-required.

Skills, tools, subs, muscle you have to complete fast on paper.Architectural plans with elevations.Plat map, drawing where house goes, title report, gas lines, cost breakdowns, temporary power...Reports of existing utilities.Notes on conversation with planning desk on time frame.Combining the two loan types can be done, you need to be a great secretarial story teller on paper.

I have been trying to list with temporary housing agencies for insurance companies.
