I’m locked in at 5.65% right now on a conventional 30yr fixed. some more details that may or may not help:Purchase price: $50krehab amount: $30kinterest amounts to $4ktotal $84kappraised value $200kprimary conventional fixed 30 yr.

I have heard many people talk about moving assets to an LLC after getting financing; although this could trigger a due on sales provision, it sounds like it rarely does. 

Values may adjust down in certain areas but people are not going to walk away from homes this time around since payments are locked and affordable.Rates are up a bit but elect to do a buy down or go with a Hybrid ARM 3/1 or a 5/1 it can make sense for an investor, especially if your going to refinance in 6-12 months to pull ut cash anyways.

Put electronic locks on all the doors including the front door to the house and your own room you use.

I have more locked up.

Aside, what I don't know (and would like to know if anyone has tried it) is what happens if the companion unit is attached to an existing duplex - not sure whether that would trigger commercial requirements (MEP plan, fire alarm monitoring, etc). 

It seems pretty common place to just lock in the fixed interest rate with the expectation of eventually refinancing to a lower rate.

I'm worried about triggering the due on sale clause if the taxes are paid through escrow (seller) but the title is in my name so the county/state expects to receive taxes from me

I've come across management agreements which are locked into place but for example don't have a floor at all, so they technically could walk or disregard duties / bookings and you'd be powerless to replace.   

As many have done, I spent a few years in the analysis/paralysis phase but my wife and I finally pulled the trigger on a single family house with a rentable basement in Irving Park in October!
