Make a plan that includes your goals, budget, who you want to buy from, what you're looking for, and your approach.

My plan for property is to rent after rehab which the same realtor has a property management company we’ve discussed using. 

I am also planning to sell my home and purchase a new one, hopefully within this year.

Not the most ideal route, and we do plan on merging everything into one platform at some point, though that is a very complex project to undertake.

WARNING: THEY will Steal youR money and DIP You were trying a base plan and add-on at the time, though a lot has changed since then and cancelation is smooth if you decide to leave.

Hey @Dan Gongora - I have a list of lenders that another BP member shared with me a while back...the lenders are exclusive to Chicago or Illinois, but I assume that wouldn't matter to you.How much equity do you have in the property and what is your game plan with the money?

@Michelle Spencer  What do you plan to invest in? 

There are over 20+ active CPAs here in Biggerpockets assisting RE investors with their tax planning.

When I have something on the horizon I begin planning design right away.

If you plan to sell the amount of interest you are paying might not be worth the hassle of a full doc loan.
