That first deal after a break can feel like a big leap, but it sounds like a great opportunity.On financing, seller financing, private lenders, or portfolio loans from local banks could be worth exploring if you want alternatives to hard money.Excited to see how this deal goes for you.

house was built half way onto my lot.. owner of house went to court he only had to pay what half of the lot was worth at the time.. so no big win.. more like a big hassle

Otherwise you could end up owing more than what the house is worth, which a lot of investors are struggling with now. 

Haven't used them, but also heard about them from Net Worth.

If it wasn't for the character and history it wouldn't be worth it.

I tried to provide constructive feedback on why it was not worth continuing with RentRedi and all the sudden I couldn't type anymore (it was about 3-4 sentences I got cut off). 

With substantial equity in your Fort Worth rental, a cash-out refinance could free up funds to purchase additional properties.

What is your current SFH worth, and what LTV is the lender quoting you?

Hi NidaI am very spectacle that the purchase prices you mention are anywhere but war zones.Most worth considering will start at $100K with rehab necessary.Please bewareBest Mike

I understand they can make our life a lot easier but is it worth it if it eats up a lot of our cash flow?
