The next one was also a corporate cash buyer and after our second call, the acquisition manager confessed to me that he just got the job and asked me if I could train him on how to evaluate a deal!!!

By carefully managing the scope and cost of renovations, you can maximize the return on your investment.3.

Since you mentioned you're working 9-5, I’d suggest look into turnkey rental and considering property managers to help manage you’re property.

Recently, management changed it so both loans can be made with one payment versus two separate transactions. 

But even being a Landlord and outsourcing that staffing via Property Management still requires someone to manage the managers. 

As far as your next property, if you are already considering moving you will get better loan options + interest rates if you decide to live in the next property and rent out your current house. 

We're trying to decide whether or not to pay it off or save to buy another property. 

Plus  2 years free property management.

Hi @Gil Canfu definitely there are many places in DFW where you can invest in a good rental property.I am not sure where you are at, but if self managed you should start in cities with good proximity to where you live.All the corridor between Princeton to Saginaw has good deals but there are many others things to consider as I mentioned previously.

You can manage your risk.
