What a strange concept, I thought.But in my research I am now wondering what some experts might think about.....what I'm thinking....Ok, so if I finance a conventional mortgage (conventional as in amortizing), the principle adds a substantial amount of cost to my monthly payment. 

Quote from @James Runkle: does anybody have the latest information on this fiasco for appointing a local agent in charge for out of state investors?

As I mentioned above, if you're not registered as a HML or lender and you are charging fees as a lender, you're in violation.

Hi all,a lender has offered 2-1 rate buy down on conventional refinance( it's not cash out )  and promising to pay down the principal at the end of 6th month and still offering to do refinance.

Unless the deal specifically needs non-QM financing, it's hard to justify the extra time hunting down a lender calculator and figuring out their specific requirements just to compare it against conventional.

There's actually a conventional reinvestment incentive for buyers (primary, second homes, or investments) under $100k so that's super common on our end. 

The house is now finished but they have charged me $40,000 for an extension!

I am thinking of leasing parking space at my retail shopping center to some EV fast charging company.

FAANG. my return on RE investments is far over 25%/year.If you cannot achieve over 3.2% investing, I will give you 3.5% on any money you want to pay off early so that you can make 0.3% more than what you are getting charged.

EV charging is quickly becoming a major value-add for multifamily and commercial properties, especially in a place like LA where both the demand and incentives are strong.You're in a smart niche, owners are definitely starting to view EV infrastructure not just as an amenity, but as a way to future-proof assets and attract higher-quality tenants.
