I have one rental I can pay off possibly, and be free and clear that would increase my cashflow about $1000/month using 150k left on mortgage.

If you need any help with specific properties, feel free to reach out. 

We recently had a rental property where the unit needed re-painted and the carpets needed professionally cleaned multiple times to even get the smell out; which your best bet at that point may just to be to replace any carpeting you may have in the unit. 

What are they bringing to the table that you cant get more cheaply or for free?

It will be hard to find that type of free cashflow after all expenses in Austin but I would bet you'll see higher than average appreciation.

I never had to do it but I would assume you could just cash the money in a bank if they asked pre-closing.4) If you're considering reaching out for more information, feel free to let me know.Lastly, regarding the policy with Mass Mutual (or NW Mutual too), it may not be advisable to use them for your intended purpose.

I directed him to hours upon hours of free education and training which coincidentally explains the process one can take to hire me as THEIR Broker if they so chose.

I’ve seen a bunch of posts here over the past six month on BP where people seem to be betting big money (some call it investing) based purely on someone’s charm and word.

If you have any other questions feel free to reach out, I would love to help! 

I'm looking forward to getting to know as many people as I can on Biggerpockets so feel free to reach out.
