Utlimate goal is to maintain a healthy leverage on the rental property.

There is good leverage and leverage.I grew up a cash investor and was scared of leverage, but it limited my ability to buy more properties.

Their business plan to me was flawed based on what I was told but it was not direct from the source.It was my understanding they were buying loans from a company and were leveraging as well from that company where they would buy them for X, and pay points and interest on those loans.

Partner Driven funded this transaction by leveraging a combination of internal capital and strategic partnership resources.

And I generally require a sponsor that has full real estate cycle experience with little to no money lost, low leverage, high skin in the game and reasonable fees and promotes.However, other investors will look at these deals as bad/too boring for them because they are more aggressive and not concerned about the risks of default, refinance, interest rates changing etc.

If you can establish a solid network (even virtually at first), and maybe leverage your savings to buy a property with rehab in mind, the reward could be the path you're looking for to make those five-year goals a reality.Of course, the risks are there, but if you're comfortable and see the upside, it could be worth leaning into.If you need more insight into BRRRR execution or anything specific about market selection and building a remote team, feel free to ask.Hope that helps!

I highly recommend you consider leveraging your money, meaning you get mortgages on the new properties instead of paying cash for them.

Similarly, suburbs around San Antonio, like New Braunfels or Schertz, could offer good opportunities.To successfully BRRRR, you need to leverage local connections.

Other options include partnering with someone with better credit, negotiating seller financing, or leveraging existing property as collateral.

But what difference does it make if the leveraged portfolio earns an insufficient risk adjusted return?
