Myself, I would stay with the numbers in front of me that have proven to be profitable.

Ultimately, Lawton could be appealing to cash-flow-focused investors comfortable with high-risk, high-reward environments and looking to leverage a reliable rental base tied to Fort Sill.

I also help out of town LLs with consulting services to stay on top of their properties here. 

I generally tell people to stay away from these guru groups and courses as well.

@Stephen Hood your idea is solid and shows good potential, but here are a few things to consider:Private Lender Terms: Ensure the lender agrees to the 1% origination fee and $2K monthly payments—some may require a higher interest rate or balloon payment at the end.Timeline for Sale: Factor in potential delays with selling your current property or completing renovations on the new one, as these could impact your refinance timeline.Refinance Feasibility: Confirm with lenders that refinancing at $500K is realistic, especially after recent rate increases and appraisal expectations.Exit Plan: Have a backup plan in case the market shifts or repairs take longer than expected, such as extending the private loan or bridging with a HELOC.If you can lock in favorable private loan terms and stay realistic about costs and timelines, this could work well.

So my questions to the community:1-Does anyone have experience with this process of obtaining a Letter of No Objection and could advise whether I could go at this alone or would recommend staying with an Expediter?

c) how could I build out at least 1 ADU while I was renting out the rest of the house so I could have a place to stay?

Which is why I think focusing on one thing at a time vs to many will help me stay organized.

We were boing to BRRRR in Ohio but decided to hold off on that as we didn't feel comfortable managing it from this far so held off on it.

How do they know if this is an owner stay that you blocked on your website, and it pushed over to Vrbo?
