But maybe you can prove me wrong!

@Nathaniel Floyd thanks for your insights and giving a specific market to look into.

During demo, if they open up a wall and find a leak that requires a change order. the change order should be specific to that repair and have a cost associated with it. 6.

Good evening BP world,I am looking to make some contacts, specifically RE agents and hands-on investors in the phoenix area, in order to start acquiring some value add SFH investment properties.

Podcasts on the way to and from work, and read a book right before bed, maybe even squeeze a few minutes into browsing some specific topics in the forums.

Give me money so I can prove some guy on BiggerPockets wrong?

Texas does have specific rules regarding home equity loans and cash-out refinancing (often referred to as "Texas Equity Section 50(a)(6)"), but these don’t prohibit homeowners from using funds for investment properties.

I do have a third goal, but too much will happen by the time my second goal materializes that my third goal will likely change drastically.Also, I tend to find myself wanting to ask market-specific questions to agents/lenders/investors/contractors/etc. a lot.

I'd talk to brokers in your specific asset class and market.Do you already own similar assets?
