To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

In the vaguely unlikely case that the cap rate and deal is real and there aren't any significant "gotchas," 25% down should be easily doable.

What is your current mortgage rate? 

The challenge I asked myself was, 'Can I make money in real estate even when paying high interest rates?'

Maybe once we actually speak/meet, we can discuss if there is beneficial ways to do things together.  

The terms of your mortgage and interest rate will remain the same and no refinancing would be required.

It is going to be a VARIABLE rate and is typically higher than a cash out refinance. 

I can say that I never meet with sellers to tour properties because I'm selling at a healthy discount so I don't need to hold peoples hands through the process.  

It's certainly much harder now to cash flow while house hacking with high mortgage rates, but not impossible.

Short term rentals usually price best 65-70% loan to value but if the cash flow is very strong to support a higher rate up to 80% is still possible these days (not common though).Best of luck.
