Connect the Investor Property Payment With the Full Repayment Obligation
Investors evaluating financing for 1–4 unit non-owner-occupied properties should understand both the scheduled payment and the obligation remaining later. Don McClain, Founder of Medro Advisors, examines repayment structure in his October 8 article. Applied to an investor property, the questions include when payments begin, what can change, how principal is reduced and what the documents require at maturity or early payoff. A planned sale or refinance should be supported by explicit assumptions and a review of potential delays. The discussion provides an educational starting point for evaluating actual terms with the appropriate financing and professional advisers. Related reading: the forthcoming book FUNDED.

Cash Planning Beyond the Investment Property Down Payment
Investors buying 1–4 unit non-owner-occupied properties need to evaluate the cash available after closing alongside the amount required to complete the purchase. In his October 7 article, Don McClain, Founder of Medro Advisors, sets out a framework for separating the purchase price, closing expenses, planned operating needs and a contingency reserve. Applied to an investment property, that framework helps organize repairs, turnover and carrying costs around realistic collection dates. Buyers should reconcile the forecast with the actual financing documents and transaction adjustments, then test how a vacancy or repair delay could affect the available balance.
