It lets one know that there's no single best course to take.

EZloancorrect me if i'm wrong, but if i pay cash for the property i would think there is no reason for seasoning. of course, you still have to prove you have done enough to raise value and have the comps to back it.jim

Of course then you find a tenant/buyer to pay you the rent and buy YOU out at the end.Anyone hear of it?

Some HML's charge usury and don't know that they can be legally liable for it.All of this is of course subject to the advice of a qualified attorney, which is where I learned of it.

Of course when we retired in our early 50s and our friends kept working they didn't say a thing.

The more it positive cashflows (makes you a profit), the better a deal it is, from a cashflow analysis perspective.Of course, there are many other "perspectives" to real estate investing, but they are off this topic.Ben

Of course if you can buy low enough, you can still cash flow property #1 *after* the refi but as a fairly inexperienced investor, I haven't found any deals like that yet myself.

What this would mean, of course, is that I would be an out-of-state landlord.

Of course I have suggestions.

Then of course there is price.
