They will also examine property rent rolls, leases, and expenses to verify the property fits their DSCR requirements. 

Under the current system the commissions are just rolled into the price.The problem will be when an independent buyer wants to see a house but won’t sign a buyer’s agent contract because he doesn’t need an agent.  

Has anyone had any luck getting a delinquent tax roll from Harris County?

I'm not sure but they might also be able to give you a list of property IDs that are not paid up for the current roll year.  

I am on my very first steps of getting the ball rolling in real estate investing and have read/am reading many of the BP books.

You could try to do a 1031 and roll the proceeds into a house hack.Your idea of a HELOC is quicker and easier, but you'll get less proceeds.Good luck

A hypothetical to see how people factor costs when rolling equity forward into additional purchases.For this example assume  you purchased property “A” for 100k, and put 25% down. 2 years later you sell it for 125k so you now have 50k (25k from your initial down payment + 25k in equity).

Keep being great 👍 Just wanted to give a vote of confidence to Drew, he has created one of the best property management operations that I have ever seen.Like a commercial jet, he has “fall backs” for any “system failure” with multiple folks covering each roll just in case something is missed by someone.Incredible 🙏

That is the only unit that is probably true market value.We considered flipping the building and have some offers - but they want at least one unit empty.In reality - we would like to keep the building as it has great rent roll potential- but we need to contest these leases.Any advice?

To me that should be rolled into the quote.
