Its hard enough to find the "right" house to live in, but when you add factors like: foundation repair, new roof, new hvac, complete cosmetic over haul, it makes it that much more difficult.Certainly can be done, and not only that, you can find a house in Collin county off market cheaper that what you would pay retail.Its important to make sure you have a resource for properties, an investor friendly lender Ie.

Just got off with an investor who was about to wire us money from Yieldstreet but his account with them is now frozen until further notice.Apparently they use a third party to escrow all funds and that company has just filed for bankruptcy.This is really unfortunate for those investors who are exposed. 

So to me, the refi seems a ways off and probably isn't good justification to hang onto the property. 

The goal is for you and your agent to get the adjuster and the contractor to sign off on a "statement of loss / scope of work" that they can both agree to. 

It's paid off.

and the goal of a house hack is not to 'cash flow' - it's to replace your rent payment with a mortgage payment and build equity.with that said - lots of investors buy off market and not on.

What exactly is "off market"?

That lines up with some properties I've been watching in the $400k range that had to cut $40k or more off list to get under contract. 

I think you should threaten to work with a public adjuster but save the 10% they charge off the top until you actually need it.

So, the PMC is making a decent amount off their hidden markup!
