Remember, you're just trying it out to see if you're a good fit.

I don't remember the exact cost when I did it but I remember thinking it was cheaper than expected.I didn't see a comment mentioning that you should just include utilities in the rent and increase it based off that so I'll be that guy.

A cash-out refi has closing costs, and if you sell soon, you may not benefit enough to justify the expense.Also, remember that doing a VA cash-out refi will reset your loan terms, and you’ll still pay realtor fees if you sell.

Just remember, it's a challenging journey that calls for commitment, determination, and a mindset that's open to growth.

Remember syndicators are marketers first and operators (sometimes) a distant second. 

The thing to remember also is that I buy super duper priced houses.

Remember, you make your money when you buy. 

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

We mostly buy off market now but I remember that is actually how I started investing, by flipping foreclosures.
