I guess doubtful at your age... but I would advise getting a job with a construction company for a while.

I’m a little skeptical of taking reviews from the company itself if you know what I mean.

Looked at HELOC on the rental, but is not allowed in Texas.Will probably apply for a 0% APR CC for a lot of expenses/material , but still need cash for labor/ vendors.Looked into personal loan , but 2 banks stated loan can not be used for investment property.

Not one single example, yet everyone pushes it like it's the ultimate protection policy.As stated above, the best protection is to follow the law, treat your tenants honestly, and document everything. 

I’m trying to get a heloc or cash out refi on a primary residence duplex.l under FHA.I have great credit but modest incomeWife has bad credit with better income therefore I don’t believe we will qualify for heloc.Our plan was to get heloc to use as a down payment on another house hack or general investment property.So far our mortgage company said they could do the cash out refi which would raise our mortgage from $800 to $1200 (current rate is 3.62) and the rate would go to 6.6To pull out hopefully 30-35k maxMy concern is if I do the cash out.

Filter based on property type: Single Family Homes and maybe DuplexesOwner Type: Absentee owners, Out-of-state owners. +10 years of ownership, higher equity 50% or more.You can then skip trace the owners to get the Seller's contact information and reach out to them. 

If you want the best class A+ LTRs in the state I'd recommend the upscale neighborhoods of Charlotte (Southpark, Myers Park, Dilworth etc.), or RTP / Raleigh.

My broker used to allow me to collect my full assignment fee from the title company but now they're saying the check has to go through them first, and they want to take splits on it. 

I live in California and invest in multiple states, if that matters.

I know nothing about which state is best to invest in, and obviously I would be using a property manager.
