When thinking about loans, think of getting the loan okayed, loans for fixing up, the value in the long term, the state of the buying and selling market, and where the property is.

I thought it was their job to look everywhere to find the best rate and terms.

I’d love to hear who you’ve used in similar situations, or what sort of rates and terms could be expected.

inspections can be uber frustrating in older homes..I know when we build new construction buyers have inspections and there is always a laundry list.its their job.you can refuse and move on.. its not common by the time the folks go into contract and spend money on inpsections and apprsials and such they usually will move forward if you address major issues.you can always put in your counter offer you will only address major issues any thing that is only for the benefit of long term ware and tear your not dealing with.. kind of set expectations up front.

Is this possible for a cash out refinance or rate term on 2 investment properties on the same loan that need to be refinanced and separated, or is this a unicorn by a rainbow sitting next to a pot of gold?

This helps eliminate the argument from tenants that they are due a deposit back, it is based on their performance of the terms of the lease.

Side notes here to keep in mind, the market is crazy right now and lenders are prioritizing home purchases vs. refinancing due to limited labor availability.

My short-term goals are to purchase one property a year for the next 3-5 years through house hacking but I am also interested in learning about and pursuing other strategies in real estate investing.

I plan to keep it long term.
