@Devon ShivesFrom my experience, If you're considering a cash-out refinance, negotiate for a smaller amount to keep the increase in your mortgage payment manageable.

These markets don’t experience extreme price swings, making them ideal for a buy-and-hold strategy with reliable cash flow and minimal volatility.On the other hand, Houston, DFW, and San Antonio are experiencing rapid growth due to continued job and population migration.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Ultimately, every applicant is a risk in one was or another, no one is 100% guaranteed or qualified, you could have the best applicant on paper screw you over, or even pass away, you just need to do research and use common sense in my experience.

In our view, experience and integrity are by far the most important parts of any private loan.

Would help if you stated what questions you had so people could reply right away.I have knowledge on HELOANs but not direct experience.

Blanco,I have 30 plus years of experience in my previous career and would gladly answer any question you would ask me without the need for such condescending sarcasm.  

I'm a Michigan native looking to move back to start my portfolio but I haven't really spent too much time in Detroit and would love to hear people's experiences.

The deal is risky unless you know the market well, have experience executing this strategy, and have accounted for the quality of the asset and tenant.
