What kind of strategies are you looking for?

Thanks in AdvanceHey Gash, From my experience in purchasing rentals in the Owens Cross Roads area, I'd double check the rents and think about lowering(depending on your strategy).

Start small, build a strong network, and conduct thorough market research to align with your investment strategy.

It would be great to hear about any unique experiences that might resonate with the community.It’s fantastic that you’re open to answering architecture-related questions—there’s definitely a need for that kind of expertise here.

But after an exchange - sign the purchase documents with one pen and pick up another pen to sign the refi docs :)Another strategy you could consider is reinvesting into multiple properties, where you purchase the first property cash (ensures some security and concentrates the equity) and the second property with a mortgage.

Use the HELOC funds for another investment strategy such as funding fix and flip projects.

@Michelle Reid Both LTR and STR strategies are viable and currently producing good results in the current market, which isn't easy to find everywhere else.

what type of real estate investing strategy(ies) are you interested in / looking at? 

While traditional loans might be tough with current interest rates and no W2s, there are definitely creative financing options and strategies to consider.One possibility is exploring seller financing.
