I do own a rental property in Texas, interest rate is 4.8%, and it has a lower mortgage left to pay off. 

Overbuilt MFH, the vast majority of STRs being converted to LTRs in the past year due to law changes, and rent amounts are currently outpaced with what properties are selling for. 

My husband and I have one rental property and are looking to do a flip next.

We manage a property in Gatlinburg Falls, and the internet has been down for over a week now. 

In Cleveland, OH you can buy properties that go way over the 1% rule and generate cash flow day 1. 

At closing, our $20k investment bought us an additional $22.5k in equity and property that should generate a 50% or higher COC return.

Run sales and rental comps to provide a market analysis on the property 3.

The plan: I am identifying on/off market properties that are targets, will do all of the real estate work (listing, showing, advertising, vetting, etc) and will split the cost of the purchase of the home and the material costs for any needed repairs.The contractor will be subbing out portions of the job and be on site mostly full time until the project is completed. 

Refinancing isn't going to affect landlording or property management much at all.

My name is Justin Springborn, a young buck new to real estate and the Dallas Fort Worth area, looking to purchase my first investment property within the next 6-8 months.
