On top of that, the requirements of self-directed tax advantaged accounts require that holders remain passive, not active participants. 

I'll tell my buyer if an MFR looks like it satisfies the 1% rule and what the stated rents are, but I leave the rest to them.

My current interest is 4.75% and the principle remaining on the duplex is 258k.

Many lenders will be flexible with it given certain conditions such as the person on title remains the same and the property is either rented out or there is a letter of intent from a near future tenant.  

So a slow down in Vegas may just mean a coulde exhibits or cenventions have moved to Orlando or Chicago.You have to look at the big picture, otherwise you see only pixels and they can point you in the wrong direction.Inventory will remain low for the next years, because we have not built on average rates for almost a decade (2007-2017) and it will take time to get caught up, as builders don't have the capacity they used to have and trades have left the industry.

Couple notes:1) I will obviously be asking for a negotiated return2) This is a normal Agent/Seller relationship in that the homeowner remains the homeowner, with the added caveat that I am fronting the $20k

I have a tenant whose lease expired 30 days ago, they moved almost all of their stuff out last weekend but some remained.

A satisfied seller, a great new house, and a perfect profit!

I have a hybrid...fixed for 7 years, floats for the remaining 18 years...with maximum rate increases per year during the floating period and a maximum cumulative rate increase over the loan term. 

@Matthew Netwon Marquess It's pretty easy to get out of it if you are not satisfied with the inspection or your walk through.
