Cons - you have to wait a few months depending on the seasoning period to do the cash out refi.

Surviving the first few years is tough, but if you can figure out how to do that, you can have a 3-5% down payment (call it 15-25k) turn into 300-500k of appreciation over a 10-12 year period.

I want to present Investor A with a hefty down payment to cover improvements of his other assets, while also offering owner finance terms so that in the 3-5 year period he can “sell” the properties to me which I have been paying off throughout the time, so that investor A can successfully 1031 into another investment at that time. 

I would also say that you need to budget time and $ to spend time in that market periodically to walk properties and meet people.

You could read 100 books and still need to learn more because certain things must be learned through trial and error.

Our minimum loan amount is 50k and we have a look back period of 10 years are far as experience is concerned.

For the 10 year period spanning October 2014-2024, single-family prices in Austin nearly doubled, yielding an annualized appreciation rate of ~9% in that period.With inflation nearing its 2% target and signs of a slowing labor market, The Federal Reserve recently made its second cut to the federal funds rate since the start of the COVID pandemic.

Another would be refinance and invest in more, but if they aren’t cash flowing now, then then won’t after a refi.You could sell them on seller financing so you continue to get a monthly income for a period of time and spread out your capital gains.

Only local agents/real estate professionals who know the area house by house and can see, touch and smell the property can price a listing well, period.

Develop an extensive email list of “interested parties” and periodically contact them with “soft advertising”.4.
