I just started using PriceLabs (still on a free trial, will see if I continue using it).  

I assume the first house hasn’t appreciate much if at all and that’s why you didn’t sell it and take the tax free gain that could take 10+ years to overcome as a rental?

I'd check local STR FB groups and see if you have a local Real Estate Club.You can offer your services there, maybe for free in exchange for the experience.

You can also make your place more trouble-free by fixing things up front that are most likely to break (new light fixtures, light bulbs, door locks, etc.).

It's an education that Harvard, Yale or Stanford can not provide and it's FREE! 

I promise you will have options once you finish renovating.If you purchased correctly (location & purchase price), you will have enough equity so that you can either sell it for tax free capital gains, cash out refinance (if mortgage rates are lower), or pull a HELOC to acquire your next property!

If you want more details, feel free to reach out.

I can't say when that will be but 4.125 is quite a lot depending on the rate you get.I personally want a hassle free funding experience and the lower rate.

I've lifted the ban, you are free to continue to send messages.

And if you join Lowe's Pros, you'll get an additional discount (it's free to join).
