However, keeping the property and borrowing against the equity (via a cash-out refi or HELOC) allows you to maintain your tenant and rental income while leveraging the equity to expand.Key considerations:1031 Exchange: Great for avoiding capital gains taxes, but make sure the new property offers better returns or diversification to justify selling.Borrowing Against Equity: Keep the steady Denver appreciation and tenant while using the funds to acquire another property.

Markets like Tulsa and Oklahoma City offer affordable entry points for investors, with properties often priced under $200K.

I fire off offers all day long for clients.

Thank you for reaching out and offering to meet up.

Quote from @Thomas Haessig: I have two accepted offers to buy and house hack.

Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.

The plan is to have 25-50 conversations per day with agents, make 3 offers a day.

Just because most lenders do not offer it (we do) does not mean it is against the law.
