So if you factor that into the equation (plus the interest u pay on the mortgage and the hit to your cashflow from monthly payments) and the HELOC jumps to 7-10%, which way do you come out ahead?

Hi All,Any suggestions for the best application for my tenants to pay rent? I recently closed this week on a fully occupied 3-Unit in WNY. Hoping to get them on an app rather then collecting a check each month. I foun...

Your share is similar to what a wholesaler or REALTOR would provide so I think a one-time payment would be appropriate. this could be a flat fee or (preferably) a percentage of the purchase price.

My recommendation would be to find another, less depressing job to fund the down payments for your investment properties.

I will be left holding the bag on it, or just trying to get a LARGER long term rental rent payment if this law is passed.

I have two options in front of me either to obtain a rehab loan, which will cost me $10k for six months ( points, fees, interest) or just finance the entire deal with my own money (cash).The rehab loan will enable me to obtain an additional property, so in six months i'll have two properties ( one with the loan, another with my cash)  but it'll cost me an extra $10k (on top of the regular down-payment which in any case i'll have to lay out) .

(the only difference is I put 20% down on mine whereas she put less than 3% on hers-so no PMI for me but still paying PMI on hers and her payment is about $300 more a month than mine because of that).
