As title says, looking for some first hand experience, positive or negative; for working with mynd.co.

In my home market of Florida, our insurance rates have made it much harder to have positive cash flow on a CRE deal.

I recognize this is not the sole source of return, but the other sources have their return increase with smaller equity position. 

These platforms can show which amenities are most sought-after in my market, helping me make data-backed decisions.ROI can sometimes be intangible, but even amenities that don't immediately show a monetary return (like higher satisfaction) often lead to long-term benefits, such as more positive reviews and increased visibility on Airbnb’s algorithm 

The rent from the other units will allow your to purchase a more expensive property than you could on your own, which could help you build the value of your portfolio (and equity) faster. 

Because of my savings and lack of expenses, I'm in a very comfortable position to make my first move, but because my income is mid, I'm unable to meet the Debt-to-Income requirements to qualify.

With that low interest rate, you will have paid down a lot of equity in the deal and should be able to finance with a bank.

Do you typically reevaluate your current returns based on the net equity you have in your properties?

I would like to pull out equity from the homes to build either a house on each or an ADU (they are zoned multi-family) depending what makes the most sense on returns and what is feasible.

1.To extract equity in your property by re-mortgaging if you brought the property with a mortgage is normally not possible, it might be if you have extensive building improvements. 2.Getting a mortgage on a property you own 100% of is usually possible.
