I just paid off another DSCR so pleased to be in this position. 

@Jordan BrownWith $50,000 saved and no debt, you have a strong starting position for real estate investing.

It was obvious that this would result in a positive cash flow.

If enacted, these changes would bolster real estate valuations and enhance returns for investors.How Real Estate Outperforms Under Different ScenariosIf Interest Rates Rise (Higher Inflation):Treasuries: Medium- to long-term bonds lose value, potentially resulting in negative returns.Real Estate: Higher inflation leads to rent growth, boosting net operating income (NOI) and offsetting the impact of higher borrowing costs.If Interest Rates Fall (Cooling Economy):Treasuries: Bonds appreciate in value, improving returns.Real Estate: Lower rates drive cap rate compression, significantly increasing property valuations and returns for investors.Conclusion: Asymmetric Risk-Reward in Real EstateWhile Treasuries offer a safe haven, they also come with limited upside and potential interest rate risks for medium- to long-term maturities.

It sounds like you're in a solid position, and taking the time to stabilize before moving on to the next deal is a smart approach.

The majority will most likely want an equity position in the deal, and since wouldn't have an active role I'd be getting into a syndication rather than just a JV.

You as the consumer of financial services will NOT be getting unbiased advice from anyone associated with Tardus no matter what the title or position.

@Ben CallahanRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

However, due to a leak that impacted the kitchen, I had to demo some of the drywall and a small part of the ceiling.

(I also don't understand how you have a hard money loan with a rate of 7.25%...)offering an equity position that you then buy out in just a few years seems like way too much complexity and risk when you say you just need 30K.
