One that holds a special place in my heart is Tractionby Gino Wickman.

Having a lease in place will help you as well - some lenders won't refi a vacant property.For your refi, you're usually looking at 75-80% max LTV with a debt service loan.

You’re in the right place to learn and connect with people who’ve been in your shoes.

I would echo this, it is a great REIA and the best place to find local, like-minded individuals and resources. 

You are in the right place to get started.

-Currently in slab process with all fill dirt in place and compaction tests done January 2023.I have put in effort to connect with people on biggerpockets who are going through the same or a similar process, so here are the positives I have found for my experience:-The price point to this build was attractive. 

It’s a blessing (the reason you found real estate in the first place) and a curse (you probably get distracted easily on what asset class to focus on).

So shift your expectations to most of the cash out and you'll be good and you'll actually start buying deals, versus people who wait for the perfect deal, spin their wheels for 6 months terminating contracts/analyzing hundreds of places, and then eventually burn out and give up. 

During this renovation period would you, as the lender, want an Actual Cash Value or Replacement Cost policy in place?

Hey @Nate Marroquin, Do you have a year lease in place for your current home?
