@Shawn Dulan We are in a bit of a similar situation and I now realize the HML may not be the critical factor, regardless of cost. Lining up the bank refinance for the exit is getting tricky, with % dropping from the 80% we all want and seasoning/stability/reserve requirements increasing. I would consider starting from that end and working backwards into your preferred deal.

Now, they may be right, but I'm not going to use their word for it. But I also haven't stopped transacting because of COVID either. I've just priced in great risk and more conservative assumptions, but I'm still open to opportunities.

Overall, I'm pretty optimistic that within a few months we'll be in a good place.

Totally agree with all of this! Source--motivations---always follow the money they say.

How much are you hedging, 10% ? Or greater?

ACs run 9/12 months here. You should be  good at once every 6 months. Also, educate your renters on the value of simply changing out the filter every 3 months or so, a $10ish dollar expense.

They laid off a third of their staff, and now think it's go time again. When the bigs go, do you follow?

@Rashad K. Fantastic job! I am curious was it a strategic move to only refinance at 60% of the appraised value and not pull out 75-80%? I am asking because this is exactly what my investment strategy is going to be(MF-BRRRR) and I'm analyzing deals with the higher refinance % in mind. Your result is very inspiring indeed.

@Amanuel Yohannes you get to say. $100/door for multifamily, $200/door single family residence seem to be the consensus minimums.
