I would be happy to talk with you about the real estate market and what your goals are in investing.

Insurance companies want to fix it the cheapest way possible, and their goal is to minimize out-of-pocket expenses like this one.  

The goal here would be to increase rental income.

With your additional $100,000, you’d have a nice cushion to renovate or furnish a property like that.It really comes down to how involved you want to be and your long-term goals.

Their goal is to eliminated group homes, half way houses etc, even STR, so check out the local zoning as well. 

My goal is to acquire my first investment property, ideally a single-family rental, by early-2025.I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who’ve navigated the Hudson Valley or Catskills markets, especially with rental properties or creative financing strategies.

What are your current goals or challenges in real estate?

That said, I highly recommend speaking with a local professional in the DFW area to get insights tailored to your specific goals.

It is a lofty goal with no easy path to accomplishment, but what you describe seems unlikely to accomplish the goal.Note most people on this site are RE investors.  

My goal for this post is more about getting advice/insight from people who have already done it.
