Or keep money in hand for the next purchase and refinance if and when rates come down in future?

@Ryan Runchey If you are planning to scale up in the future, then QBO is a good option and you can start with the lower tier subscription for a single property, you can upgrade later when you acquire more properties.

I have a job making ~ 90k and I plan on moving to Texas sometime in the near future.

You just want to make sure the other half will have enough dock doors and adequate office space for a future business.

Developers are eyeing dormant projects, while banks and other lenders are preparing to replenish their loan portfolios.

you really want to stick to 65% max ARV . 70% is very tight and after closing costs and interest on the way in and costs on the way out there may be nothing left . if something is off during the project could easily go in the minus 

Currently, I work as a Flight Test Engineer and have come to the realization that I need to do more to secure financial freedom for myself and future family. 

So far it's been a huge win-win and we couldn't be more excited for the future and I want this to last.The questions I have is what would be some good measurables for Travis so he can aspire to bring more value and therefore earn more ownership?

Do your cash flow projections include set asides for CAPEX?

lease option type of set up to with the down payment as a non refundable option payment.sounds like a big enough project the buyer is probably substantial and real..
