Those are actions I took to build out my team. 

I plan to buy a new property in May by putting 5% down and renting out my current home.

It's clear they are not willing to even talk about it and we would have to make a big issue of it - threaten to pull out of the lease or bring in lawyers, and that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense because it will just make our lives hell and cause our business to suffer.

If you would like to give me a call, i would be happy to price you loan out.

I house hacked then rented it out after a year.

@Robert BriggsSince a cash-out refi and HELOC aren’t viable options in Texas, and personal loans have high interest rates, consider a few alternatives.

In short, this would be an entirely appreciation-based investment.Given the state of the economy today, with high interest rates and the seller-buyer lock out effect, I want to discuss the pros and cons of this investment at length, specifically in the context of all the other properties / neighborhoods that I have been evaluating. 

If you haven't already, let me know if you want to look at any cash-out refi options for your short-term rental.

DSCR can cash out 80% even on 2-4 units, but I was referring to OP's request for HELOC on investment properties To further clarify my previous post: 80% LTV HELOCS on investment properties are available on single family homes, 75% LTV HELOCS on investment properties are available for 2-4 units.

Afterwards I found out that there is an ongoing lawsuit against PreREO in Washington State.
