I’m new to flips and I can’t find a lot of information on them. 5% rate seems too good to be true.

Was there a noticeable difference in your occupancy and guest ratings that you attribute to the professional design?

If there is something that needs a licensed tradesman, he has plenty of connections and it leads to reduced rates.  

3) If I can find a private money lender to do a 2nd mortgage, they will need a high interest rate.

Neither property will be cash flow by the time we are moving out (unless rates drop dramatically and we can re-finance). 

They indeed got a response-rate of close to 50%.

Guarenteed payments on the 1st, keeping up with market rates and mutual interest between the tenant and landlord to keep the property in good condition and to keep the tenant living there. 

I am looking for a fillable rate sheets to enter owners rates for them to approve?

Qeustion: Without a 35-40% down payment, would it be advantageous to buy down the rate? 

Without question the Pandemic fueled activity and mortgage rates drove investment and inventory of STR's and vacation rentals for rent up in many destination markets.
