Again, not to say there can't be bigger issues, but I have had more issues with the quality of construction in modern updates than I have ever had in the original items.  

I'd say understanding the quality of different builders is paramount, so you understand what you're buying.

@Theresa HarrisWhat bank(s) or products give you high yield percentage now?

I have found that it is much more beneficial to hire a CPA that is highly qualified in real estate rather than one locally. 

@Dionne Ladson The proof of the pudding is in the eating.True private money (e.g. a high-net worth at your local REIA) is going to be more flexible, but make you vet them before diving into a borrowing relationship.

Due to the current high interest rates and prices, many investors are choosing to increase their down payment to ensure a positive cash flow even in the not so "nice" areas and plan to refinance in the future.

The data reached an all-time high of 108.500 % in Mar 2012 and a record low of 94.900 % in Dec 2021.

You can refinance out of a high rate. 

Its not even in the news cycle about "ambulance chasing laywers" suing high networth individuals. 

The accuracy of the appraisal depends on the quantity and quality of market data available.
