Been hesitant to pull money out of risk free 5% yield + stock market for a rental property but at some point hope to do so when it feels like it makes sense.

I'm considering tapping into the equity from either my primary residence or rental property to purchase another rental home that generates solid monthly cash flow.I'm open to investing out of state and have heard that areas like Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina offer potential opportunities.

Companies normally offer limits up to$500,000 but some offer $1,000,000.

Builders offered everything from rate buydowns to other buyer incentives to make their homes more attractive.

However short contract period allows you to pursue other avenues to sell if the wholesaler can't execute on the terms they offered.

Unlike banks, which offer limited loan options, brokers have access to a wide network of lenders, including niche and non-traditional financing sources.Here’s what they do:Assess your financial situation to determine your borrowing power.Compare multiple loan products to find the most favorable terms.Negotiate rates and terms with lenders on your behalf.Guide you through the application process, ensuring you meet all requirements.Example: Suppose you have a lower credit score or unconventional income sources.

If they need access to the property immediately, you can offer to leave to them until you are ready to close. 

Quote from @Patricia Steiner: There are several lenders who offer low/no closing cost options for first time homebuyers.

Is it worth it for someone like me who hasn't done any deals yet, but is going to be making offers on my 1st investment property in the spring?

Denton County offers opportunities in suburban and college town markets, while Grayson County provides affordable entry points with cash-flow potential.
