. - in the 3rd year strict regulations from the cities in my area then forced me to close down a lot of my arbitrage units because most were not profitable enough renting them out with 30 night minimums. - By my 4th year I was doing more managing other people’s AIrBnB units and fewer of my own arbitrage units (I charge 15% of gross rent to manage someone else’s property)- Now about 80% of my business is managing for other people with the other 20% units I have the lease myself onBottom line is arbitrage in my area can still be profitable, but it’s not as profitable as it used to be.

The idea is to get into a property with a short term loan and then force some appreciation by making needed repairs and updates and then refinancing for the longterm with a traditional mortgage.

You run a commercial property like a small business, and you can manually force it's appreciation, and not be subject to the whims of market appreciation, as you are with the single family market.

-Refinance Loan Amount, most places will traditionally refinance between 70% to 80% of the market (ARV), again their are exceptions but I would confirm this as it'll greatly impact the amount of rest of the numbers.

Understand any provisions within the docs that impact how and when the interest rate can change.2) You do not want a note that can be called for anything other than standard, typical events of default.

you mean 4 unit or smaller.Typically, the first two criteria for the small time investor are cash flow and appreciation, whether forced by value add rehab/re-purposing the property or it's in an up-and-coming area where values will rise even if it's a dump.For Cash Flow, I recommend using the 1.5% Rule as a quick method to evaluate deals. 

Thus not only will filing your 2019 tax returns not impact your interest rate, it also will not impact your buying power (as far as that particular source of income is concerned).

Sometimes you just have to force yourself to take a step back and see where you're at, what you have accomplished, and where you can go from here.If anyone has any comments or advice, I would love to hear from you.
