Assuming the property is appraised at $650,000.00 I am hoping the equity will get my LVT to 75% eliminating the PMI, adding to the potential cash flow when I go to rent and then putting that cash flow + personal savings away to raise capital to buy another piece of property.I realize that in order to buy my next piece of property I will want to put down 20% to avoid PMI and a high mortgage but saving 20% for a piece of property in my area is going to take some time due to the high price ranges $500,000-$700,000.

There is no fee to attend the meet up group just buy your own drink.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

And then you will have people lining up with cash in hand wanting to buy your contract .   

Some options are:-No point - rates at 7.75%-Can buy down to 6.99 but cost 1.5%-Wait till next year or later when rate goes down.I also have to bring the LTV to 75%.

I have done buy and hold rentals primarily but am looking for new ideas.

HiI was wondering if anyone happened to buy one of the Rausch Coleman houses in Benton, Bryant or Conway as an investment property?

Why would you want to buy a house with structural repairs needed anyway? 

I've been investing in Jacksonville since 2016 and we are still actively looking to buy properties there.

Someone who had purchased the legal STR with NUC or in "Resort Zone" they most likely be doing alright, but for someone to buy in 2024 and do STR, I think it would be very hard to make a decent ROI.
