At 6% I’ve only saved $360k, but you would have saved $720k, an extra $72k/yr.

Probably starting out small Jaycee - SF or maybe some smaller duplex type properties.

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.

Just starting to research how to invest w/ SDIRAs. 

I started out with a great cleaning company that did great work but the owner and I were not a good fit, they cleaned well but she didn't like my over communication. 5.) 

Then if you still 100K off, I would start dropping the price in a big way to get to an even playing field. 

I am ready and will be starting with property number one sometime, hopefully, quarter one of 2025 with a possibly 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom single family home; as this is within my current budget.

Inflated ARVs - Im starting to see this on cashout refi's and purchases as well.

What I find to be most valuable: Ease of use, cost-savings and efficiency and here's what I mean: If using an interior designer to furnish your rental, they will hand you a list of supplies + furniture to buy and what I was able to do with Minoan is upload that list as a CSV file and then they come back with a quote of all of the items they can fulfill along with their respective discount. 

The units are all currently occupied right now, so we won't have to worry about the buyer's market right now haha.With the cash flow I will receive, it will be enough to take care of property taxes, insurance, and enough to save up for any emergiences with the unit that I will need to take care of, so no need to worry, I got you :)!
