that is a much lower risk way of getting started than with a sub to deal

Most 1-4 unit real estate investors are using DSCR loans right now for any buy and holds while flippers lean on higher leverage bridge/fix and flip loan options with higher interest rates.

If that’s the case, I’d recommend considering areas outside of Dallas proper where you can still find properties with strong growth potential.Cities like Prosper, Melissa, Princeton, and Anna are excellent options to explore.

I’m going to talk to them today about the complaints that I am getting, but if this pursues, what exactly are my options in this situation? 

An option to better understand and see the model without having to spend all the time is turnkey interesting.

I think a better option is to get a job in property management.

Just like bonds & stocks, different properties will have higher & lower risks.

So all of the gain and depreciation recapture are initially still tax deferred.However, like Joe said, the down side is later when sold  you lose the 1031 option. the client will pay tax on all gain and depreciation recaptured from before the 1031 also. 

When I asked my agent about options to back out, he didn’t really offer any advice.

I have been digesting all things Real Estate so right now I am working to lower my DTI while saving at least 6-7% for the Owner Occupant down payment (to include closing cost, etc.).
