Hi Robert,Given you are looking to buy another rental (long term), a cash out refinance on the existing property would be a good play here.

Not sure if that is still legal or even translates in today's world of everything online but seemed like a good screening tool to me at the time. 

I look for density plays that can be executed in an infill setting.

I was seeing information online that suggested both routes...Thanks in advance for the help!

If you ever want to chat more about this... or if you're curious how these strategies play out in markets like Austin or Scottsdale... feel free to reach out.

I've found deals in local online groups on Facebook, simply asking people for what I want. 

Now, in 2024, we're seeing $4,000 per month just on the main unit and $1,800 on the other unit of the duplex.Long story short, it's a long term play.

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).
