Hi all, I am looking to refinance my loan.

Hello all,I am new to the bigger pockets site as well as real estate investing as a whole.

If there enough forced appreciation through rehabbing, then you could refinance it toward the end of be house hack and pull out your down payment/rehab expenses.

Also, for C- areas you should be getting 1.5%+. 1% does not build in enough reward for the risk and hassles you'll encounter with tenants and property maintenance (they're mainly all older homes with varying degrees of deferred maintenance).

All I can suggest is downloading Google Drive and Google Sheets onto your phone and creating a spreadsheet for each project. 

Hello all,I know that there are many of you that invest out of state for various reasons.

Hi all, I am an out of state investor looking at opportunities in Pittsburgh.

I usually order the apapraisal they day after we close on the cash purchase when the job just requires some minor cosmetic fixes.The key here is creating forced appreciation.

If the house is underwater, which sounds like it's the case, there's no way to force the lender to do a short sale.

Hi All,I am currently saving for my first down payment for a House hack in Philadelphia.
