The US real estate economy in general has boomed thanks to COVID and previous rate drops.

If you are in a heavy sun, high cost of electricity and high rate of usage market, and you buy the panels, and you can resell to the provider rather than maintain your own batteries, you probably will make money especially if you hold long enough.

The kicker is my interest rate is 3% on both. 

I can only get funds from my Heloc with 9.72% rate.

I’m wondering how are investors making money with the interest rate being so high.

I have Navy Federal Credit Union and you would think they have better rates, but not exactly. 

How can I determine an appropriate cap rate for this?

I’m new to flips and I can’t find a lot of information on them. 5% rate seems too good to be true.

Was there a noticeable difference in your occupancy and guest ratings that you attribute to the professional design?

If there is something that needs a licensed tradesman, he has plenty of connections and it leads to reduced rates.
