@Tara Gupta you can spend a million on that Green remodel, but it will have zero affect on the environment.

How will the property perform in a stressed environment (lower rents/higher vacancy)?

However, if you have an open schedule and prefer an office environment, one of the brick and mortar brokerages may be better suited to you.

I think it is actually healthier to see some additional inventory hit the market so appreciation rates return to more sustainable numbers and financed buyers that were constantly getting outbid finally have the opportunity to lock up some deals.

Our environment cannot always be controlled by a system of locks and security cameras and access cards.BTW - I took your advice and checked out a Sig P229 in .357sig.

Your idea of just buying real estate for $1 million in a 10% inflationary environment doesn't mean the real estate will be worth $1.1 mil in a year due to "appreciation" from inflation.

I would just add though that in this shaky environment, don't be too aggressive on pulling all the cash out (as Stephanie said, 75% ARV and 100% of your costs will be hard limits), but no need to really stretch on that if cash flow is tight (likely given current market and rates). 

DSCR loans are typically about only 1% higher than conventional, but can be a bit elevated in today's environment, but 10.5% appears very high at first glance (especially if you just got one quote) - should shop around for sure

Lead is present in the environment. 

I know a great Mortgage Broker in NC that runs a solid team and knows how to market in todays environment.
