If you google anything regarding mortgage rates or refinancing, you only see lending tree and rocket mortgage or some brokers that will send your information to 1000 people.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Hey Everyone,   Honestly just looking to take a dip in what I know are undoubtedly deep waters. The idea of real estate investing both intrigues and terrifies me. Any guidance is welcome!

I was under contract for a property, and the financing fell through due to the property not meeting the lenders requirements and not being sufficient.The seller is trying to keep the EMD as I have signed and requested the mutual release.

They sold two appreciated duplexes in Dallas and we turned them into 8 units in Mesa, AZ with higher cash-flow, and much closer proximity to Southern California.I'll add to your Phoenix "pros" list:1) Landlord friendly rental rules2) Easy evictions in < 30 days3) Rents are rising faster (on a % basis) than many other metro areas4) Low property taxes (and the property taxes don't sky rocket after a purchase as they do in CA)5) Very low vacancy and extremely high tenant demand.

I would also only do this if both properties have solid appreciation potential.If it was me, I’d consider trying to get a HELOC on the first property and use the funds for a flip or a BRRRR so I could pay back the line of credit within 6 months and then go do it again.
