At least up here, service is VERY important and VERY complicated, so you and/or your attorney need to make sure that you cover all the bases.

Basically you can't (or rather the lenders won't) do a cash-out refinance before the seasoning period (6 months typically; I've heard some are pushing 12 months now).

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Typically single family / small MF (2-4 units) will have higher appreciation.
