Hi Derek, I do have an agent although I only have a property specific contract with them so if you know good folks, I would appreciate any insight. 

Especially the fact that good STR are usually in high appreciating area.  

Any insights, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 

The amount of capital required depends on the city's appreciation rate.

Look for a market that is growing in population and jobs so that you can get in the way of obvious appreciation. 

The majority of our properties already have DSCR loans on them, are tenant occupied, have been owned for less than a year/have sizable capital gains, are in a high appreciation market, may take a while to sell at market price on the MLS.Are there any loan products, even ones with balloon payments, that would let us access some of our equity in our properties through refinance or a 2nd position loan.

Much appreciated.

Appreciate it in advance.

Also would greatly appreciate recommendations for agents, lenders, and property managers in the OKC area as well. 

If anyone has any recommendations of some property management companies, id greatly appreciate any leads.
