Alternatively, you could consider seller financing, which could provide you with a steady income stream while selling the property.As a real estate investor, realtor, and owner of a construction company near Texas A&M (College Station/Bryan,) I'm happy to help in any way I can.

I have been using comps from the MLS but as the company grows, I dont have that advantage in other states.

Are you using a PM company?

If something breaks, the management company fixes it. 

-- when would you look for the company to refiance into/what if you dont qualify-how do you kno itll go through/not get stuck with the hardmoneyloan?

I would look for a professional company like Rentwerx.Here's an eviction resource: https://guides.sll.texas.gov/landlord-tenant-law/about-evict...

I also own a short-term rental co-hosting company.

Some PM companies take on higher end stuff (think Cul-De-Sac neighborhoods) and some focus on the hood.

Certainly partnering with companies that have consistent replacement properties available makes sense if the properties meet your investment guidelines.  

There are a couple of companies out there that will let you do a cash out refinance with no income!
