An important aspect here is the timing of debt maturing, balloon payments or renewing option payments or meeting purchasing goals.By manipulating the timing of obligations we can reduce the financial impact to our operations and take some steps used in asset management, but in reverse.

I don't know if the economic shift there is permanent.

If this is your first investment property and your debt to income ratio would be substantially impacted from getting a mortgage, perhaps you ought to keep it free and clear while you get the hang of managing it.

And, the big problem is where the tiny home ends up being permanently located. 

Like everyone right now, I am spending a lot of time at home thinking about the short, mid and long-term impacts of our "new normal".

BENEFIT of Buying: Location permanency: cannot get evicted.

Hopefully, we onboard a couple of buildings and hire someone permanently.

And I'll say it again, understanding and acknowledging the presence and impact of xenophobia and racism plays a significant role in real estate investing.Methinks the gentleman doth huff and puff and protest overmuch as he tells me to calm down.

I should expect that the 5 rentals covered by the new DSCR loan are now even more “permanent” in terms of not refinancing again later/ever.  

hi, my rental history for the last ten years or so reads like the story of a troublesome gaurd dog. i slept at night in the office of a check cashing business at a strip mall; i stayed in the show room of an antiques store; i lived in a warehouse without the owner's knowledge that i was sleeping there. for the last few months i have been living in a cheap hotel but they raised the rate. the owner of the check cashing place does not want to tell anyone that i was living there. the antiques store owner was literally insane and is now an unreachable transient. the owner of the warehouse learned of the situation as i was moving out and so is not a good spokesperson. the twist here is that a moneyed relative wants to pay my rent on a more permanent place. they will cover 2k/month no problem. how do i approach prospective landlords?
