You should look to link up with investors in those areas and get some feedback on the good, bad, and ugly. 

I read your post and it looks like you want a partner but it wasn't very clear exactly what you want or what you're looking for.

Im looking at SFH package. 25 properties, roughly 1.5 million most are 2/1 and 3/1 a few 4/1 and 3/2.

Awesome stuff Matthew, looking forward to seeing you on here and maybe in the future we can work together. 

OP  First do several deal analysis even before you look for a property. 

I’m looking to pull equity from a property, but I have a great interest rate that I don’t want to lose.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.

I'd look through the forums, reach out to a few and see who you connect well with.

Was hoping to find if cost segregation could offset or reduce tax liabilities on W2 income , which looks like it won't unless we are RE pros or it's a short term rental.

I’m looking to connect with other investors and grow my network.
