Sounds like it's time to shop a new lender.

I would say shop around most compete with each other and offer to beat or match any rate.

Hello, just want to hear your advice if cash out refi is a smart move to fund the next investment property even if it means the mortgage will increase?

And a lot of them never give the worksheet to you so they know when you are shopping for a new cpa. 

Depends on how it is structured but essentially the other buyer is more or less giving them $10k in non-refundable earnest money (or the seller is holding refundable earnest money and using it to buy a car, not very smart).

Banks and others will go as far as to access personal browsing and shopping history.

If their carrier doesn't offer that kind of coverage, they can either shop for one that does or you can change agents.

This makes me feel a bit better, but I had better get shop drawings from the metal guy doing the stringer to ensure all these are dialed in.

Hi Apurva,53 units -- It would be smart to talk to an Architect who does multi-family (In your general area) about the cost of doing a restyle as well as colors.Especially if you choose a Hardie (Fiber Cement type) product.With Hardie (Type) products, read the upkeep instructions, some require re-applying the joint sealers (factor that into your maintenance budget).Also with Hardie (Type) products there is a service life to the color...some come pre-colored, some your contractors must paint on site, (some require priming of cuts when installed)---talk to the Architect about the maintenance schedule and the CAPEX for this.Hardie makes big sheets of this for multi-family that Architects can use for visual effect and ease of installation.With 53 units--springing for an Architect to help with this would be intelligent.Good Luck!

We strive to provide a clean, safe, and convenient place to vacation or celebrate special occasions.While this is our first property together, our partnership developed from a Bigger Pockets meetup at a coffee shop in Big Sky, Montana.
