And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

If the ARV has risen to $260k and you’re renting it out for $2900/month, you can likely qualify for a higher loan amount.Here are some key points to consider:Loan-to-Value (LTV): A typical DSCR refinance will allow you to borrow up to 75-80% of the property’s ARV, so for a $260k property, you might qualify for a loan of $195k to $208k, which could help pull out most or all of your original investment.Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): Since you're renting for $2900/month, the loan payment will need to be covered comfortably by that rent.
