My husband and I are new to real estate investing and currently seeking for our first rental property investment, preferably a multifamily (2-4 unit) home.

I am just thinking ahead, just in case, but wanted to get input on what options I could have with current tenants in a lease that might not expire for close to 1-2 years from now in the event I "needed" to sell a house or two, either for a better cash position for myself, or to 1031 into a larger investment property, etc.?  

I am a current restaurant owner who is looking to become eventually full time real estate investor.

This refinance would potentially allow you to pay off the construction loan and potentially access additional funds to build more units.The new loan amount after the cash-out refinance will be based on the current appraised value of the entire property, including the new construction.

What do you currently use and love? 

During this time, I've gained valuable insights and experience, and I'm eager to expand my rental property portfolio.I currently own one rental property from my first house purchase.

I’m currently applying for the loan based on my income, credit score, etc and the trust’s assets.

This is your current tenant with yearlong lease and they want to sublease / airbnb?  

As there is no cashflow during this period this may not be an ideal scenario for everyone but we are all cash buyers building out a portfolio that will provide income to keep our current living standards once we retire from our day jobs in 5-10 years. 

When you say "your own lane", what is your lane currently?
