If you've got to ask a question on an online forum about managing an out of state or out of country renovation, you aren't ready to do this on your own.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Alternatively, refinancing might give you access to some of your equity without completely exiting.

It’s online only but purpose built for business owners and they have automation for those applying the Profit First cash management system.

Fake income documents are easily purchased online, and inexperienced screeners often miss red flags.

When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.

I also recommend a bank that has local branch that you can go into vs having it 100% online.

Retaining your current home at a 2.875% mortgage rate maximizes cash flow, while accessing $65K in equity provides liquidity for your next steps.

But also with low debt or free and clear property that they can easily access any time in the future with a cash out refinance.

The online gurus are the worst.
