Jack MillerProbably but there is also a significant risk because these borrowers typically do not qualify for conventional financing so the default rate jumps from what is on average 3-5 % to well over 10%.Let’s say you get an extra $10 or $20k, I have seen borrowers do a lot more damage than that to a property as well.

I am looking at a new Goodman 2 ton 13.4 seer packaged unit for one side of my duplex in Chattanooga but was quoted over $7,000 which seems quite high to me from research Ive done. 

I have found time is better spent building tools to quickly analyze & procure new deals, rather than hyper-analyzing the metrics of one deal, ultimately making initial review faster & more reliable (spend time on the things that make sense, quickly remove things that don't, even junior-level staff can identify good opportunities with the tools, etc).For example, if I'm modeling a SFR to 3-4 unit scheme, I can quickly check the $/sf/mo for each of my proposed units and get a good idea of the GOI without having to manually dig through &  find rent comps in that City/Zip:- So instantly I know in Woodland Hills that a Studio is close to $5/sf/mo on avg, 1 Bedroom closer to $4/sf/mo, with the 2 & 3 Bedrooms closer to $3/sf/mo.

I am also a chess enthusiast and would love to chat over a game sometime. 

My wife offered to drive some over, but they found them by then.My wife responded to the new complaint and said that she wished our guest had mentioned any of this during their stay so we could have addressed these concerns.

But your goals, timelines, etc are not outlined at all.Common issues I see on these forums: everyone thinks they are getting a little cash flow, but over the long term, they are a) not getting as much as they underwrite and/or b) typically hurting long term value by creating cash flow through deferred maintenance.  

Over the last two years our property taxes have doubled, if not more.

Great place to start, but would recommend having an attorney look it over to include property specific or owner specific requirements just to CYA.Best of luck

@Daniel ColonThis would only make sense if the property was over a million dollars AND you paid for it in cash.

I operate over 20 units and have been since 2019.
