I am an investor friendly agent as well looking to start my journey in RE investing.

Quote from @Spencer Ware: Looking to start expanding portfolio.  

Quote from @Amir Portal: Hi friends , i Would be happy if you could guid me from your experience on where to start whit a strategy of BRRRR in DFW

Quote from @Kim Scheid: @Travis Biziorek and @Sean O'Keefe, we are looking to start with our first out of state rental and would love to know more about self management.

Start by networking through local meetups, REIA groups, and online communities like BiggerPockets to connect with experienced investors.

If you do have enough other income then you dont even need to lease out this property to start your refinance.However if you dont have enough income to qualify with no rental income offset then yes you will need to obtain your lease(s) and security deposit + 1st months rents deposited before you can utilize 75% of this gross income - your monthly PITIA payment (in terms of qualification on this property refinance.So all in all Id make sure what your current debt to income position is first of all (DTI) and then strategize to see if you even need the leases at all.

Our STR fees start at 18%.

Consider starting small with house hacking a duplex or triplex, and use tools like the BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculator to analyze deals.Good luck!

I'd start with picking one city and spending a lot of your time to do a deep dive building relationships and learning different areas.

My plan is to start house hacking.
