Ideally I’d like to get to $10,000-$15,000.

My goal is to acquire my first investment property, ideally a single-family rental, by early-2025.I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who’ve navigated the Hudson Valley or Catskills markets, especially with rental properties or creative financing strategies.

A HELOC on your duplex or home offers flexible, low-interest financing ideal for BRRRR, with potential tax-deductible interest if used for property expenses.

So I get that "lag" almost every time, plus I deal with our corporate bank... so they always have that lag. 

There's only a handful of these in the Bonita market that meet the ideal criteria for your strategy, but they're much more prevalent in Fort Myers.

For our second STR, we are currently researching Sherman, potentially / ideally, a less expensive duplex that we could rennovate and self manage from Dallas with workers coming to the area in mind. 

I think having a balanced budget would be ideal where you allocate money into buying another property and money set aside for renovations.

You can't go wrong with holding the property but again not ideal in your scenario

Should be within the last 6 months sold ideally within 1 mile. 

Do you have an ideal type of and location within TX/Dallas for a flip?
