With Apartments.com I can automate rent payments, have the security deposit paid, and have tenants upload their proof of renter’s insurance.Challenges of living with other roommates and renting by the room When living with roommates there are always challenges.

The costs from securing architectural drawings to getting a survey and mechanical/engineering/plumbing sheets are wild!

To sum up the risks to the seller; the seller remains liable on a note which is secured by real estate they no longer own; the property sale has violated the due on sale clause of the mortgage or deed of trust and the note can be accelerated by the lender; the seller’s credit capacity is impaired because he has debt with no offsetting property equity.  

I looked at various other models with numerous other companies, none of them had a more secure, risk free business model.

The rates for our loans for investors including DSCR loans, Fix-n-Flip Loans, and Ground-Up Spec Construction (as well as the rates for consumer Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA rates) are driven by Treasury Rates as opposed to the Fed Funds rate, but there is a loose connection.

., your lender instructions and loan docs should be clear on that.

Thanks all,Hi Matt, here are a couple of other options on a DSCR loan for a 30-year fixed.

so it was an accidental flip.typically for your first few deals, you'd take out a hard money loan - and so you'd probably still need to (1) put 10-15% down, and then (2) make interest only payments during the rehab.  

The investors I know that use the common approach of putting 20% down and using new loans from a bank are choosing to invest in Ohio, Indiana, Georgia and other less expensives states.However, folks from CA find using creative finance to invest in AZ are making big bucks.

My math has all been conservative and assuming no appreciation/increase in rent/loan paydown which makes CA rent/own ratio's look bad.
