Connect with lenders and brokers, see what rates are out there, underwrite the deal and see if it makes sense after debt service. 

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: I’m exploring strategies to scale my real estate portfolio given the current mortgage rate Not sure much makes sense at 11%...Ouch....tough enough at 7.5%   Might have to put more than 20% down to finance....maybe 30% in North Texas.   

(i.e. initial decorating and painting, bookings, rate structures, marketing, bookkeeping housekeeping, etc)? 

I have a similar project in Buffalo NY, however, I had to change plans when I got further into regulations.

Negligible changes called "diminimus" are the easiest, but they are along the lines of 1 foot out of a 50 foot setback.

If the cash-out refinance option isn’t providing enough liquidity, you could also consider a hard money loan, though these tend to come with higher interest rates and shorter terms.

Adam - I know you posted this a while ago so things might have changed, but I'm invested with Broadstreet and have a relationship with some of their team so let me know if I can help in any way!
