Another possibility is that maybe he was working remotely in another state or country and didn't want someone calling from North Carolina when he's supposed to be somewhere else.

Has anyone worked with them before? 

Many people do not want to work their regular jobs forever so why should they have to go to school forever?

Things work a little differently in Texas because we are a deed state, but in some ways the same. 

From my experience working with over 400 investors, those who start with house hacking scale much faster.Good luck!

DTI < 33%Some inconsistencies that I am discovering in the process- Some lenders requiring a hard-credit pull vs some ok pre-approving me with just a soft pull- Some lenders willing to share a loan estimate sheet with exact costs to close, vs some keep insisting that they "need to run the process to get the loan estimate" and that it can only be done after I get into contract.Just before going into a contract, I would like compare all of the pre-approvals and compare their rates, exact cost to close & potential time to close & then pick the best one to make the offer.Ideal scenario- Pre-approve based on a soft pull (so I don't get my credit score dinged every time I work with a new lender)- Share loan estimate sheet with pre-approval for a potential propertyAm I asking too much from the lenders?

Quote from @Edgar Duarte: hi allI would love to get some perspective from your expertise, we have a property that we would have to sell in 2025 to avoid paying taxes on the capital gains, we believe we rcan sell it for $700K and get an equity of almost $500K after paying the mortgage balance, if we invest all of it option in index funds at 7% rate (standard com growth calculator), or in more rental properties as we are all here for, I can get the equity of around $900K.option B would be keep paying the house at 2.3% int rate while we have it in AirBnB and maybe sell it in 10 years for $900K, knowing that we would be paying taxes but it is not that bad still. or we can 1031 at that point?

.- Collect Tax Certificate to verify Property Taxes are Paid- Get a current statement from the seller to verify the existing balance, if they are delinquent, you can get the bank on the phone to verify the amount to make the loan current.- Review the loan documents, there is most likely a due on sale clause, which is why you won't find a title company to process these for you.

Works for many agents but those are all miserable (in my opinion) and I don't do any of them.With you avg prices around $360k (and maybe 2.5% or so your side), you really only need to do about six transactions to hit your target.

The property originally appraised at $475k when we purchased, $115k more than we paid, after our hard work the property appraised for $550k and we refinanced to repeat on another property.
