If its the latter then I always caution people spending money to save some is not always a good strategy.

Maybe we can brainstorm some strategies to address it.

Of course there are other great areas in the Austin MSA depending on your strategy and risk tolerance.Let me know if I can answer any questions or share my thoughts on any other topics.

That sounds like a strategy that some of the YouTube gurus are teaching to wannabe investors with no money or experience and that is going to end up with a lot of deals going sideways as these buyers will probably fail because overpaying is obviously a bad strategy to begin with. 

Can this strategy work?

I can tell you as a Banker it is much easier and you will get a lower rate if you do a cash out refinance versus a Heloc in this market.

,Buying, renovating, and selling is a great strategy, but here are a few things to consider:Start with the Numbers: Make sure you know your ARV (After Repair Value) and work backward to calculate your budget, including purchase, renovation, holding, and selling costs.Financing Blindspots: Even if you’re buying in cash, plan for potential delays or overruns in renovation costs.

This is NOT Business Credit.By establishing a separate corporate credit profile on the EIN Number (separate from the business owner's SSN/FICO), investors can access substantial business credit lines, capital for property acquisitions, and renovation funds without personally guaranteeing the debt.This approach creates a powerful financial firewall between personal and business assets while potentially generating a significantly larger (ROI) through reduced interest rates, increased borrowing capacity, and the ability to scale investments more rapidly.The education gap surrounding EIN corporate credit means savvy investors who understand and implement this strategy can gain a significant competitive advantage.
