I'm assuming, due to this environment you are talking 4-4.5% interest on an investment property loan and that the lender isn't loaning more than 75-80% Loan to value. 

I'm only 32 years old and feel like I am just getting started.Anyway, I wanted to thank @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner for creating an environment  for people like me that started from nothing to be able to move into this type of lifestyle and create passive income.

However, I am looking to give my sweet husband some peace on our second house hack and not live in a construction zone for a year.

I value my time and my peace of mind, so I’m willing to pay a bit more for that.

I use banks and non banks and in this environment the rates are from 4-10%+ dependent on program.  

@Sean Griffin Great savings advice no matter what the inflationary environment looks like.Interesting thoughts and articles, though the Zero Hedge is a but more well constructed than the Business Insider; the burrito index is a joke.

My liability insurance on my service business costs me more and is basically useless beyond peace of mind since I've never made a claim, I'm sure I'd get more benefit from NAR even if not significant.

Then you go through periods of peace and consistent checks.

I prefer to use phone calls as it allows me to build a better introduction and relationship with the seller to provide a more comfortable and trustworthy environment.

They should be licensed and bonded and guarantee their work, which gives some peace of mind when you're OOS.
