That's mostly a feeling, as I don't know how to measure that or what the average appreciation for a fourplex is in our area.

(i.e. within 150 miles of the collateral property)I'm following up on the contacts Mike provided (thanks again Mike) so as to shop around as Dion rightfully suggests (thanks Dion for reiterating that successful REI is heavily dependent on controlling costs) My aim is to find a solution that does not require "local" contacts of any kind; AND has all the provisions that are suggested in your replies.  

They didn't minus their property tax so it looks like their net was around 20kBTW we are aiming for 280k for the property Thnx in advance

They have tried to streamline the process to focus on what matters rather than typical out of date measures like a FICO.

If you are in for $60k, and you get $7200k back after year one, that means you are now only $53,800 behind.By refinancing, I am ahead at the 6 month period.Let's run this for the 10 properties you are aiming at:REFI                                     EVENT                                  NO DEBT10                                       # of Properties                          10$3,000/mo                        CF/Mo/10 properties            $6,000/mo$36,000/yr                        CF/Mo/10 properties            $72,000/yr$60k                                 Cash in (spent)                      $600,000k$60,000k                          Cash Out                                   $0$0 *                                    Total Cost                              $600,000k$ 0                                    Cash still in Property             $600,000k  0                                    Months to recover cash         1000 (83 years, 4 months)60 months (5yrs)              Time to 10 properties             60 years * The Total Cost for the REFI scenario is $0...because you aren't spending any money, you're just re-using the same funds 10 times...and, when you refi the last house, you get those funds back.

My point being that there is not a generic right or wrong answer without knowing what you are aiming at.Happy Thanksgiving!

If I have an ad running the 444 number and a second ad with slightly different wording going to the 693 number and a third to the 632 number I can measure the response rate for wording used based on the phone number that gets the most calls.Also, with google voice you can have different voicemails for different groups.  

Then, aim for those requirements.  

Its measured in millimeters of thickness and I have a specific standard that must be met.
