@Daniel H. we've got a very Landlord friendly Massachusetts Lead Inspector I can refer to you if needed.

We want to know local regulations, average daily rate, average monthly occupancy, average annual revenue, and how to increase the daily rate and property value with improvements.We also have local cost segregation companies to work with and the rest of the team to refer to you so you have the best ownership experience possible.To Your Success!

Many refer to "cap" rates for small MF but you can't really force appreciation on <=4 unit properties by improving your NOI like you can on commercial 5+, that's is a different ball game.

When talking to these lenders don't be scared to ask for references from previous investors. 

If ai refi and rent it, best case I MIGHT get $200-$300 above monthly expenses, worst case I lose $100/month but won’t be able to get any cash out or pay off my credit cards and investor.I’ve done a few single family flips and have other rentals so I’m not new to the process but I’m torn about taking the loss vs. holding long term.Long term I’m counting on appreciation, rent growth, no major insurance or tax increases, or major repairs.Selling I’m taking a right now loss and walk away with $20k to reinvest in whatever is next.I know the answer is always “it depends” but I’m curious what others would do.For reference the property is on a very populated island near Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Income 3x rent, no evictions, solid references.

Does the renter that wants to do the group home have other group home she runs as a reference?

Build your own comp analysis process:- Use Redfin/Zillow to find 3-5 sold comps within 0.5 miles, similar sqft (+/- 15%), same bed/bath config- Adjust for condition, lot size, and any upgrades- Cross-reference with what's currently active to see how the market is moving3.

Check for:•Proof of insurance and licenses•At least three references (and actually call them)•Active permits pulled under their name in your county2.

Can anyone refer me to a Qualified Intermediary they have worked with before and would recommend?
