You should invest where you feel you have a competitive advantage.

I have a Bennah Oaks investment as well.

I was playing with the idea of selling my condo, taking 300k of the equity to put a down payment towards a house listed at 660k.I'm assuming the reno will run $300/sqft and going in with the assumption that phase 1 will run 750k (figure the expansion of the house will have to wait) for the gut reno.I assume/hope (but definitely not banking on) that I will be able to refi in 2-3 years at a lower interest rate; if not for a lower rate.This will likely be a family home for the next 5-10 years at LEAST so investment value isn't quite at top of mind ATM.Questions:Even if it's not for lower interest rate, do you feel it's advisable to refi to remove the 203 loan in the future?

Office space is gutsy at this time with many companies working remotely, maybe part of your investment was to bet that people will be coming back to work in person.  

@Zack Whiting - You are in a top tier market for investment properties!

If you're considering a DSCR loan for an investment property, more info below on how credit scores factor in among other factors on rates. 

You already understand investing, and clearly, you have been pretty successful in life. 

My wife and I have jumped in and invested in two separate STR properties in the Blue Ridge area. 

I would also mention that once you have invested in Utah, I recommend the Utah Rental Housing Association as a resource.

Hello All, I have a client asking if they could buy a portfolio of 5 properties (at a "packaged deal" rate) and sell off two of them to recoup some of the initial down money needed to buy them. I haven't done anything...
