I have been looking up a lot of properties and finally, I am expecting to put 1 property under a contract very soon and I would like to know about your experiences on how I can manage my first rental in the most effective way in term of the following:1.

That's the sort of situation I'd love to be in.How much should I expect a refi & HELOC to cost me? 

what can i expect in holding costs if im using hard money. 

Looking for someone affordable, but would also like an idea of what i can expect to pay for one.

So I was expecting more participation on this subject. 

So every bank can tell you what to expect from nearly every other bank with these loans since the money does not come from them. 

This one we are expecting 20-25%.

I'm expecting to get about $1,800 per month in rent.Questions: Is there any way we could get the sellers to pay for the termite bonding/treatment, especially considering that they tried to hide them? 

The agent said she would tell them my counter.What is a usual amount of time I should expect before receiving an answer?

When you have the huge population increases we have in DFW it is going to be very difficult to not have some issues with keeping the supply in line with demand.Collin County is expected to double in population from 1-1-2017 and 1-1-2030.Since many of these projects are so large when they come online there will always be hicups.
