I would use nontraditional REI strategies right now, due to interest rates and housing premiums.

Unless rates are finally cut and prices rice, then maybe it’s a six figure mistake. 

Very high interest rates, Easy times to find deals with conventional loans and hard times and recently the housing bubble / crash.  

We evaluate the after-repair value using a gross rent multiplier and a NOI/cap rate model. 

Floating rate gets a bad rap.  

If you really enjoy doing those things than so be it keep doing them.

They should be able to provide you with the most accurate information regarding property tax rates for the specific property you're interested in.

30 year fixed, low interest rate DSCR BLANKET loans (put multiple 1-4 unit properties under one loan for cash out or for purchase).Ground Up Construction loans for aspiring developers with NO Experience100% Financing on Fix and Flips (just pay closing costs and prepaid taxes/insurance)Fix and Flip financing that requires no appraisalHELOCS on investment propertiesBuilder's Forwards (for medium to larger developers who want to hedge interest rates on their properties they plan to sell so they can offer "low builders rates").DSCR loans for long term AND short term rentals (I think this is becoming more and more common, but some people have still never heard of this).And so much more!  

I think we've all seen the DSCR rates swing up and down as well over the past two years, on several occasions, DSCR rates were beating conventional rates at par pricing by nearly 0.75% at higher leverages.  

I have a 5yr draw period at a 10.95 rate.
