@Philip Pape Are you looking to refinance conventionally (Fannie/Freddie backed) 6-12 months after purchasing or with a bank that holds its own paper that can refi you quicker into a commercial loan program they offer?

Right now it is kind of a seller's market which accompanies the seller's marketing and tends to favor cash buyers because they can close quicker.  

If you revisit your model but make an assumption that your cost basis for the property (cost of purchase and cost of rehab) remains under 75% of the property value then how much quicker can you achieve your goals?

I would go 15 and pay it off even quicker.

You can buy 6 SFH in some areas in the West End and get more in rents for each home and have quicker appreciation.As to PM, make sure that you'll ask their prices.

Also when you have a sense of urgency with some of the deals needing to get closed quicker you can't waste a lot of time calling a few people who drag their feet getting to the property.

I've found syndication to be a great way to scale quicker and turn REI into a full time thing.

If you're lining up financing and purchase at the same time, the wait time is more painful. if you already own the house and then you want to line up a loan then things can go quicker or at least you'll be cash-flowing while you're waiting. 1. find a great lending team.2.

We also put as little down cash wise, because it allows us to have th money for the next house quicker and easier.

Any way I can do it quicker with a small lender or something?
