If I purchase a 2nd Lien Performing note and the borrower refinances the 1st Lien does that require them to include the 2nd Lien in that refinance and cash out the 2nd Lien?

@Charles S.The 50 % Rule States: That 50% of gross scheduled income (GSI) goes out over time to cover expenses not including debt coverage.The 1%, 2% and the 50% rule is meant to act as a quick analysis tool, to insure the deal is actually deal.

@Jen TeskeI don't know the area so I can't speak about the market you're in, but just by looking at the #s, you're missing a few things: Water, Sewer, Heat, Electric, Gas, Trash, Lawn/Snow removal, Cap Ex, Property Management (even if you're self managing, this needs to be factored in if you want to scale), and although you did include vacancy, if a real vacancy were to occur on a SF you'd have a 100% vacancy, making it negative cashflow since you'd have to cover all the expenses, not knowing when it'll be filled again. 

I've never bought a house before, and i've never had an income to be able to be picky about my living situation, so i really have no idea what amenities to look for, and even worse, no idea what large ticket items to look for. obviously roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing - but what indicators of those can i actually inspect on my own and be able to see if this house has any major red flags? 

It doesn't seem like you're in a position to shop, so just something to keep in mind for future reference.Also, when you're talking about a 30-year fixed loan, if one lender tells you they can do something that several others said they cannot...it's a huge red flag.  

@David Dachtera  first course of action is to simply and I say very simply.. go to the county or city .. talk with the planning department.. and make sure the lots were recorded as final plats.. and are legal lots of record. just because utls are in does not mean the plat was recorded.then see if there are any other red flags.. then go to public works ask the same questions.then go to the building department and make sure they don't have them flagged.

Cash-flow; When I'm living in the property - 1500$, when I move out w property management included 800$ on 3 unit multifamily with a finished basement. 3 over 3 over 3. 1900$ rent per unit after rehab which was generously estimated at 30k.

I was required to fax in:Copy of my Drivers LicenseCopy of my Social Security CardNOTARIZED water service applicationSigned copy of settlement statement from title companyThis seems like a ridiculous amount of red-tape required to set up water and trash service with the city of Dallas.
