So the first part of that was a cash out refi on my condo(it’s SoFla, I owe 89k, condo is worth 138k now) to get money for my first multifamily property.The advisor I spoke to worried because I’ve only been “self-employed” for 6 months, she said they want 2 years of proof of self-employment.Any help on how to get my cash out refi so I can finally get on my path to Invest in Real Estate, financial freedom, and spending time with my family!

To be successful we are often forced to be creative to avoid having to rely on our landlord/tenant board adjudicators to get evictions.

Since I'm in Texas, I did a Google Maps view of the 3 bd, 2 ba property to see a boarded up home. 

The building is highly inefficient so we are mainly looking to replace the electric base board heaters, replace windows, redo some drywall and insulate where needed.

Should I get a hard money investor on board or pay for it myself as I go with my salary?

At our company we like our clients to be involved as much as they want to be with the expectation of trust in our expertise for certain operational factors.Also, if the turnkey company has well-established policies in place for leasing, resident on-boarding, standardization of renovation approach (replacing capex items first and foremost), and property management, then they could be a good option for investors.Also, look to see if they have warranties in place to cover the renovations they have completed on the property.

If they don't pay, contact their licensing board and file a complaint.

Rentals have been a hot market with tons of amateurs and major investors jumping on board.

Hi Amy,To be licensed as either a Broker or an Associate Broker, you must have been actively licensed as a salesperson and/or broker in Delaware, any other jurisdiction or combination of jurisdictions for five continuous years immediately before filing the application.I pulled this info from this website: https://dpr.delaware.gov/boards/realestate/resbroker Best of luck, there are a lot of great people on this board that should be able to point you in the right direction.

Obviously way harder to get owners to get on board if you make them change their insurance but its the route I took in Colorado.
