The more cash on hand the more options.

We’ve found a great option for us in Tennessee with a cabin (currently used as a str) and a mobile home.

FHA gets a bad rap because sellers and many agents think it's only for people who don't have the money so if I had 20 percent, but wanted to use FHA, I would present a proof of funds with my offer showing I have more money, but am using the FHA as a financial option so I can get an investment property as well somewhere else.

I don't see it as an issue but many still do, at least in my small town where the majority of renters are elderly people looking for low maintenance housing options.

Keep in mind that while there is an exemption to the Fair Housing Act.....most states that have a state level Fair housing law do not typically provide the same exemptions as the national law.

@Seidy Lasker Wash sale rules apply to stock options if they are deemed "substantially identical" to a security sold at a loss within 30 days, such as options with similar expiration dates or strike prices.

HELOCs are definitely a good option for financing BRRRRs.

• How do leases typically handle furniture/appliance damage or wear?

Thank you,Jerry Jerry, I recommend getting in touch with an experienced broker who can educate you on all the possible options in the investment space for cash-out refinances.

Your best option is to terminate the current manager and switch to one with better processes and communication.
