I personally own 2 rentals in Indiana.

I personally never look at BP on my phone or the app on my phone but i just checked it and its still there it brings up the forum threads maybe BC I already had it ? 

Most DSCR lenders actually prefer you to own the property in an LLC, although some do allow you to close in a personal name.

Being in Dallas gives you the advantage of doing your due diligence in person, which is invaluable.

It's been 2.5 years since I purchased my first property and now that everything in my personal life has slowed down I'm back on the horse and ready to find my next investment.

Private lenders generally have fewer restrictions, a faster process, and can structure loans based on the property’s value rather than just personal income. 

For me personally with the lessons I have learned - I would build capital before buying anything to hold / flip.

we can do it not rented but rate will be significantly higher. easier and more cost effective to rent it. unless the bridge money needs to be paid back asap or you need the funds back to buy more, then a cost analysis needs to be done. personally id get it rented at market rent or a touch below if time is a factor. 

Highly recommend going in person to meet and build your team.If you are looking in Indiana you should connect with @Eudith Vacio. 

While that's great for him I would not be even considering this person an expert in the slightest with such limited experience.
