Look up articles on BP about sourcing off market properties.  

Quote from the article: "Texas cases don’t necessarily have a good and distinct and succinct definition of ‘squatter,’” said Adams.

But I'm also of afraid of missing out on a good opportunity to get a townhome in a expensive popular area at the price point and interest rate I find to be favorable. 

If anyone has resources (articles, guides) for analyzing multifamily properties, I'd love to check them out!

I would disagree I've seen standardized definitions of the types of communities. but I do agree there is a place in the market. it's fast growing and undersupplied but I disagree on how much of a premium people place on it. it's still less efficient and lower rents per square foot from a development perspective I'd never do it myself. it's still a suburban market and we develop urban. here are a few articles I reference with some of our BTR entitlement clients:https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/What%20Is%...https://www.cbre.com/insights/reports/build-to-rent-overviewThe CBRE one does a good analysis of the styles and groupings if you care to read. 

This article published here on BP last year goes over your needs and questions pretty closely - help this helps!

Yes for sure - you should definitely check out hard money loans to assist with the purchase and then "DSCR Loans" for the cash-out refinance (DSCR Loans are made particularly for investors like you - no DTI or W2 considered at all)Published an article last year on BP on this exact topic (BRRRR method financing options) hope it helps!
