I also have a house in Conroe, Texas it generates decent cash flow every month but appreciation is fair at best because of where it is, I had 3 applicants last time I placed it for rent and I have my reserves of raising rents in fear of tenants not being able to pay a higher amount.

I've Dealt with this issue before i solved it by buying the blinds and then raising rents. 

You may raise that money from investors in form of equity.As for underwriting, I can recommend a great book that explains it all.

In any area with any type of rent control make sure the current tenant is paying close to market rent or you might not be able to raise rent enough to ever catch-up.

Definitely easier to price high and lower the rate as opposed to pricing low and raising the rate. 2.

If you're not deliberately concealing it from the lender (which I would never recommend) then you may want to raise the question early in the process with your mortgage person to confirm that your credits aren't going to blow up your loan/deal.

We have successfully raised $1m-$2m easily in the past.. within hours of releasing deals not as good as this one...

We were going for 9 month originally, but this will take us to Summer 2023 which we can raise the rent then.

I have a great deal on my hands and deciding whether to assign the contract to another investor or raise private money to get the job done.

And as of December 3rd, 2021 I have closed on two deals, own a lot to develop and have raised $100,000 of investor money, and feel very happy and confident on the path I am going.My first deal was two houses undergoing rehab right now, bought as a package deal for $285K, and $260K rehab on a hard money loan, both will be flips, and the ARV is at around $800,000 (+/- $20,000).
