@Evan Swanson no work killer deal may be harder to get but if you are good at adding value it’s never been easier.

By the time everyone else had received their insurance payouts, there were no contractors available but my friend's house was nearly rebuilt.Also, it's always good to have some cash on hand because you never know when a killer deal is going to pop up that you can jump on while everyone else is trying to figure out where to get the money.So, my opinion, and the opinion of just about everyone here on BP doing BRRRR method, is to refinance all the time even if rates are higher in the future.

And because you're in Texas, you should definitely branch out to Oklahoma.However, and this really isn't directed at you but rather those in states like California, I think that too frequently people focus on that too much to the point that they miss killer deals everywhere.I live in San Diego and sure, California seems to be tough, but I don't think it's nearly as tough as people think it is.For the most part, if landlords treat tenants in California fairly -- which every tenant should be treated fairly no matter where they live -- they're not going to face too many problems.Even at the height of COVID, it was the slumlords that were having trouble collecting rent.

Comping incorrectly is a deal killer in many cases. 

The law of attraction-- you know you have something great/wonderful -  yes you need funding but you have something just as great and necessary- a killer investment along w/ your skills/talents.

Personally, I don't like the numbers for purchasing condos in large communities unless you get a killer discount on the purchase price.

Go pick up some Ortho fire ant killer for about 20 bucks and apply it to the ant mounds yourself, it works great.

@Khyati ZalaThe further out from NYC you go, the less likely prices will be as high.If you are content on house-hacking in NYC, @Damon Bodine has done some extensive research on potential house-hacking areas within NYC.No Savings is definitely a deal killer though.
