Personally, i would be cautious telling the majority of experienced owners/hosts they are wrong without rock solid data and evidence.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1155394-have...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1155264-afte... 

Once that extra rental started generating income, he realized the higher interest rate was just a temporary hiccup on the way to bigger returns.In your case, maybe look at a structure that keeps your best cash-flow property on a lighter refi (say 50% or 60% LTV) while you go a bit heavier on the one that’s not producing as much right now.

@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

Why would one choose value adds that produce lower returns than can be achieved in other markets?

We truly believe that you'll find significant value in the Academy program we have spent over a year producing.

My plan is to be as knowledgeable I possible can so the deals I present are rock solid and convincing enough to get my money.

It's more important to own investment income producing property that generates at least 10% annual ROI than it is to own where you live.

One of the trends you see clearly is that smaller landlords do not want to rock the boat increases, especially with good tenants. 

Markets like Memphis TN, Little Rock AR, Tulsa or OKC, OK.

You need to understand how to drive the Net Operating Income to produce a good solid return.
