If rents are under market, consider small increases or exploring additional ways to optimize your cash flow, such as taking on another roommate.Refinancing is also worth exploring in the future.

Meaning, two different parties have ripped my listings and falsely advertised elsewhere.So a 1:25 scam-to-door-ratio per calendar year hahaIn addition to fraudulent advertising, I have lockboxes that enable remote showings.

You might have additional items depending on your market.1. 

Calling the appraiser to see what you can do to push it up a "C-Level" would be smart before doing any reno also, might only need a few things to make it far more valuable in the eyes of the bank.I've heard of a tactic for figuring out demand, which is to put up a dummy or coming soon listing on facebook marketplace and see the amount of activity you get on it. 

Recently completed a cash-out refi and want to take that money and buy 2 additional properties (~$200k or less each). 

Additionally, you may just want to ask your tenant to be mindful of the other residents by using some form of air freshener or scented candles etc. you would be surprised what a conversation can do, maybe you'll get a more favorable result.Best Chris

It wasn’t just about the property—it was about the lessons she was teaching her kids along the way.During the drive, she shared valuable insights with them:• How real estate can generate income.• Why patience and hard work are critical to success.• How to think creatively about building wealth.Once at the property, the kids explored, asked questions, and saw firsthand how opportunities are created through smart investing.Involving children in real estate teaches them:• Financial literacy in a hands-on way.• Entrepreneurial thinking and problem-solving skills.• The confidence to believe they can achieve financial independence.It’s amazing how small moments like these can inspire the next generation to think bigger and dream bolder.How are you involving your family in your real estate journey?

Before I jump into the cash required to operate which isn't given enough attention by most investors there are additional fee related questions a borrower should ask any prospective lender: Are the 3 points inclusive of loan doc prep?

Planning to start a complete home remodel (interior/exterior) on a home (currently 837 sq ft), kitchen and bathroom bump out, and add an additional bathroom. 

The reason I mentioned DSCR loans is because if a property I buy and bring up to rent ready standards then starts cash flowing, rather than waiting to collect enough cash from the rents before I start on another property I'd like to accelerate the process by getting an additional loan and putting that money to work elsewhere - haha, I hope I'm making sense.
