Once you have a clearer idea of what you want to buy you can get prequalified and ready to roll!

This is by no means an attempt to push anyone into any market, but rather just some generally vague thoughts.

Keep the snowball rolling!!!

@Isi Nau I agree, there is real growth potential in the west side esp with the push towards greater infrastructure spending to make Kapolei a true second city.

Our banks consider our LLCs self sufficient when they see the rent rolls and debt service of the notes.

You can fix and refi to recapture on a portion of the money put down and roll into other assets or leverage your skills with others to target properties where maybe they can brings funds while you provide credit or ability to do the ground work.Originally posted by @Susan Ferris:Hi, We have purchased 2 rental properties in Illinois and have put 25% down on each.

Delayed financing will allow you to refinance a property that doesn't have a lien on it, up to the amount of the purchase price +roll in your refinance closing costs up to 75% LTV on a rental property or up to 80% on an owner occupied property. 

I'm assuming I need to get a licensed contractor to take care of that, which I'll confirm with the City tomorrow.I'd like to push that expense back to the seller.Who here has had to deal with this in Allentown or in the area?

I love it, I do not want to push them as they are the perfect tenants.

Just a question of do I try to push the value and refinance this one out of the FHA loan to get another one next year, or just go for a conventional on an SFR.
