Very nice suburb area outside of Dallas and I'm very much ready to get in the real estate game!

Starting out, single-family was my go-to—easier to manage and a great intro to the game.

I mean if you have specialized knowledge its fair game to charge for it..PuuuLEASE, it is far from the "same" program".

But it's in your interests to make sure the property value makes sense and the borrower has skin in the game.

@Edward Toomey V I feel like this is a frustration for us all in the property management game.

In the past year we've been through the ringer financially due to bad contractors, deal promises, and generally just being new to the game.

@Arthur Savery, This can be a great game plan called a diversification exchange. 

For example, incorporating energy-efficient solutions and smart home technology has been a game-changer in similar markets, especially when paired with features like office spaces that cater to remote workers.As for potential add-ons, corporate housing partnerships are a brilliant suggestion!

That is an upfront game plan with numbers that should be somewhat fail proof if done correctly.Lastly dont forget that 85% of people who take out a HELOC end up doing a refinance within 3 years to consolidate into one loan. 

After reading so many intros of young, single, eager individuals, I'm hoping I'm not too late to the game!
