Compared to the US, the financing is different (if you need any), the legal system is different (you need to vet the parties), pre-construction works differently (if that's what you want to buy), the buyer/seller psychology is different, ...It's important that you get the needed knowledge or work with people who have it and have their interests aligned with yours.I have replied to hundreds of posts about investing in Mexico over the years so you might find some what you look for there.

@Joshua DunlapTo make a successful investment property purchase in Texas, set clear investment criteria, choose a suitable strategy, get pre-approved for financing early, build a strong local network, start small for your first investment, plan for worst-case scenarios, and work with a knowledgeable real estate agent.

A cash out refinance puts the cash into your bank and can be used as PITI reserves or as an asset.A Heloc becomes another trade line on credit which can potentially cause a higher DTI and lower your chances for future approvals.

However, you should ensure that the contract language allows for such changes without requiring a full contract re-signing.Consulting with an attorney familiar with Florida real estate and property management law is advisable to ensure compliance and avoid any potential legal issues when making these adjustments.Let me know if you need help with any other aspects of this process!

@Joyce KimHELOC and home equity loan are not the sameEquity line of credit is a line of credit that let’s you withdraw up to specific amount and you can take less and pay interest on what you drawFor example if you had a $50k line of credit you may choose to use $20k of it and it is usually ten years where you can pay it off and draw moreA home equity loan is a second mortgage which is a fixed amount and paid off over a period of timeHELOC is better in my opinion but if you have no income it will be difficult to get approved even with the equity you haveCommon misconception people have is if you have equity you can just take it, that’s not the case the bank also wants to make sure you have the ability to repay it.

Also they remove the need for a chimney and individual water heaters since the exhaust is essentially moisture. our HVAC does most of their work in the city if you want contact info- He's installed 3 for us just this last year lol In basic terms It would involve:-Permits / approval-Additional Meters X 3 (all thru UGI, they coordinate with contractor)-3 additional units to accommodate each apartment.

Others are a bit trickier and often over/under inflated - income, maintenance, PM costs, legal, etc.

It’s possible your multi-beneficiary plan might not be legal.

Once you know your price range and what you want to put down if using financing you can typically have a bank approval same day.Once approved if not paying all cash you talk with your agent or even self-explore and use the listing agent in most cases.

I think, for now, I’ll probably use Buildium (my current software) and manually enter into furnished finder and AirBnB and require approval so it doesn’t auto schedule and so I can send a proper lease.
