@Renee PohleStarting with a primary residence in Boston offers long-term stability, house hacking potential, and equity building, but may have high upfront costs and limited cash flow.

Potentially Lower Interest Rates: With more collateral backing the loan, lenders may offer lower interest rates, as the risk is spread across multiple assets.3.

You're spot on with how private money lending offers speed and flexibility compared to traditional banks.

I didn't walk the house prior to making an offer and prior to closing.

Hi @Hassan Oukacha - Being from Texas you would need to either get your real estate license or use an online service like Inestway.com or Propelio.com - both are brokerage websites that offer true MLS sold comps for you.Full disclosure I am the co-founder of Propelio.com, but there are other sources like investway that I mentioned.

You need a proof of funds or a pre-approval to go with any offer so if it's hard money, they will issue a letter.

Ask a home inspector for their mold guy if you don't have one already.If these are otherwise high maintenance tenants: offer them the opportunity to break the lease and move out with no penalty (besides damages, of course).

Don’t be afraid to reach out and offer value, even if it means going the extra mile in the beginning.

We currently target deals that fall through and then make a no-contingency cash offer to hold their original closing date.

Thanks all, I deeply appreciate y’all taking the time to offer advice and reach out.
