However, due to keep purchasing real estate, my DTI is high and close to 50%.

Some of our deals took 1 to 3 years or more but when we landed them ( being that timber is a high profit business) these were 6 figure net deals..

Crime and Tenant Quality: With the higher crime rate in 76104, how much impact could this have on tenant retention and turnover?

I want to earn my clients business and if for some reason they decide the relationship isn't working then they should walk away (but don't leave your agent high and dry haha).Commission is completely negotiable.

But at the end of the day, the quality of services provided and how well you'll get along with a PMC is what it comes down to IMHO. 

He scaled with quality, going full-on luxury top-shelf.

They can take a 7% cash on cash for high quality commercial and with pay down and other drivers be in double digit returns on larger properties.Please folks do not be drawn in to buying these what appears to be low cost junker type properties that you think you will fix up and get this windfall of ongoing cash flow and equity on the resale from.

I have to check on codes/laws/regulation, but I know CA is on a high of making thinks convenient to build those at the moment.

I would look FAR AND WIDE for someone to do an investment property HELOC -OR- go to a bunch of banks and CUs (including who you bank with now) to find someone to provide an unsecured (or secured if you have other collateral) LOC to get rid of the high int debt.

What you can't do remote is get a sense for the neighborhood and asset quality.
