We bought couches from Lazyboy that have held up really well and I expect they will last many more years.Some Amazon stuff is good, read the reviews. 

I want to continue to invest in the property especially after getting back the inspection report which had a little more work than expected but I can roll with the ball!

What level of communication can I expect post close?

You’ll need to partner with someone and if you don’t have the cash, expect to put the labor in and find the deal to make it work.

One of the key benefits of a DSCR loan is that it allows you to qualify based on the rental income the property is expected to generate, making it ideal for those with multiple properties or who may not have a strong personal financial profile or W2.

Some people go to Lake Lewisville/Dallas/Grapevine, but I don't hear about them spending the night and there are pretty limited options right on the water.I still hear a few people going up to Broken Bow/Hochatown, but that talk is way way down since about 2021. 

We have two kids in daycare etc so our savings rate is still good, but we both work from home and the nursery is a shared office as we outgrew this current house faster than expected so we are trying to move by the end of 2025 at the latest.

For amount, it would likely be in the $500-700k range.My expectations are to have a negative cash flow while living there, and possibly a slight negative cash flow after moving out (until interest rates lower or rents increase).

How do you handle situations where ARV comes in lower than expected?

Basically completed just needed some clean up from construction, so to be expected.
