If you have a marketable property and its listed these agents will contact you.

It has been on the rental market for about 55 days and the average in the area is supposedly 36.

This will allow you to enter the market earlier with funds saved up.

I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?

Quote from @Daniel Huang: Hi, I am trying to transition to develop my rental income as I am in the final years of my professional career.  

Im not expert but Ive took out a heloc and dragged on going on my advise and it suckedHi @Mario Morales, There are 2 things I would pay attention to in the scenario you describe. (1) Most cash out loans are limited to 75% -80% LTV meaning you wouldn't be able to get all of your cash back out. (2) The interest rates I see in the market are closer than what you've listed.

Not that I am aware of, but I am not aware of all softwares on the market. 

@Annabelle Rozen  I believe the stability of the rental market within Allentown is rather robust. 

Ensure your contractor has a clear timeline, keep extra cash reserves, and start marketing your rental rooms early. 

Being in the Austin market gives you a great advantage since it’s such a hotspot for investors.
