If you have anything else of value to add, please do so!  

I can see the value in what you’re doing in the rural southeast—new construction in those areas has a lot of untapped potential, and I like how you’re handling the financing with Fannie Mae assumable loans and light debt.

I'm looking for the cleanest & most visible way to access payment history, see amortization schedule, tax documents, etc- much like bank softwares provide. 

This way, your current rental stays a cash-flowing asset while providing leverage to grow your portfolio.

Thanks,BrettLocal PM here - happy to help identify investment opportunities, provide investment analysis and connect you with contractors, agents, lenders etc etc. kindly let me know and I'll help in any capacity I can.

You might also look into learning about BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), a popular method for scaling a portfolio.Network Locally: Engaging with local investors and attending meetups in markets like Dallas or Fort Worth can provide insights and connections that are invaluable.You'll find that momentum grows quickly.

A lot of hosts I know use pool fences, safety signs, and provide life jackets to help reduce risk.

I wasn’t looking to add value or find something off-market because the time and effort just didn’t seem worth it compared to focusing on my career.

@JD Martin agree 10,000%What I am surprised about is I had a call with someone in Austin today and in sw Florida and they both said things are awful and prices are dropping at high rates - curious don't hear as much chatter here about that as it could be an opportunity 

The underwriters will be looking at similar property condition requirements (c4 or higher) of a conventional loan (no deferred maintenance or safety hazards which would affect value).
