@Garrett Christensen Thanks for the reply. Could you explain what you mean by debt obligation is more than 75% of the rent?

I will give you example numbers what we are looking at (Mortgage will be around 1300 with the property renting anywhere from 1650-1850).

Hi Everyone! 

My fiance and I are currently going to go under contract for a new build soon and are very excited. The new build estimated time to completion is 6-8 months (December/January).

My business partners and I are currently looking at an investment property in Chattanooga (We already have one here.) The timeline for that would be much sooner.

My question is around the financing of the properties. Would purchasing an investment property before primary affect the rate on my primary down the line? Or Vice Versa? 

Would it make more sense to wait until our home is completed to start shopping around for another investment?

I appreciate the help!

Hi There! I am a California based investor and have heard good things about Detroit.

I am looking into Single Family Homes and Duplexes and am curious for those who have experience, where you would recommend looking in Michigan?

I am looking for LTR (preferably turnkey, but can be a fixer upper as well). Price Point is around 100K - 200K.

Thanks for the help!

Hi There! My self and two other partners are looking to get a property in AZ in the next month or so. We are looking into going with a BRRRR into Airbnb method. My focus areas are Chandler and Mesa.


My questions is how competitive is the AirBnb market in Phoenix? I have read many articles with how many there are and how saturated it is.
