I immediateley went to my bank where fraud investigation is being pursued, filed charges with the Harrison County Sheriff's department, the Attorney General's office and the Internet Fraud.gov center, plus my friend called the president of the local REA and he is also looking into the matter.

Plenty of people that belong to our local REIA are also on BP; they could also chime in on that.

With that being said, I am sure you guys are interested in areas where you can house-hack and that would mainly exist in the outskirts of Boston (15+ miles out and roughly 35-45 minutes driving to city center).

I know that the tenants will never pay the state back and they'll raise taxes to cover the shortfall, but I'll be long gone from this overrated s**thole by the time that happens. 

All belongings will be moved off the Premises, and it will be cleaned in accordance with the Checklist.

If we go back to historical data, the median sale price for a house in Dallas-Fort Worth rose 6.31 percent from $236,100 in November 2016 to $251,000 in November 2017, according to the data from the Texas A&M Real Estate Center.

Assume that 90% of the value belongs to the building and 10% of the value belongs to the land, the capital cost of the building is therefore 90% x $300,000 = $270,000.Where am I getting with all this?

@John Fish You'll have to let us know the amount of capital you are trying to place, and what your investment criteria are, because the Philly market is very much alive & well, I track Center City & the surrounding neighborhoods daily, and about 50-100 new properties are coming on the market per day (some of which are going under contract very quickly). 

Anytime you receive a loan, you can expect to have to pay interest (in this case, your payment goes up), otherwise, the lender wouldn't make any money :)If you do not want your payment to increase, there are a few options:Re-negotiate the length of the loan to be longer - a longer loan term can reduce your payment amountSee if your lender will let you defer payments for the first 12 months - this will allow you to secure a 30yr mortgage on the investment property and pull your cash back out of the investment, or it will give you time to get that property to start cash flowing, which will cover your $285 payment increase.See if you could pay interest only on the 100k refinance - this will reduce the $285 payment, and may be easier for you.Taking out a loan (a cash out refinance is a loan) will cost money in some form.
