They EASILY paid $30k extra to get seller financing with $150k down.

The extra cost to do two separate loans will be worth it, especially if you do not want to be stuck with the loan for a long time. 

McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.

It would also have to be put up and taken down between each tenant and I don't know how responsive your PM will be to this extra work. 

It was just an offer (costs extra) through a local lender I used!

Seems like a lot of the negative comments and reviews are related to bookings, advertising, extra fees, etc.

With the extra cash flow, you could strive to acquire additional income-producing properties over time.

I got into this by accident when i took a job via upwork as a VA  for Vontive and stated at interview  i could lower there costs and stress by automating there lead gen.I automated the lead gen and they didnt need 5 0f the 6 VAs they hired and we cut there costs by nearly 60%.Thats when i realised that you could automate even the cross platform data scraping.Then i got some extra clients from Upwork and now Im on here to help, offer the same and expand to others.going to the recorder office/courtYou only need to go to the physical building if thre is information on the documents that you need but cant view online.

We were able to pull all the Rehab cost back out and some extra to roll into our next property. 

I’d plan for extra amenities like special decor or concierge services.
