The other unit is occupied by a tenant that has been there for years and is paying 150% or more less than market rates for rent.

I have a great bookkeeper that I use in the phillipines, very fairly priced and knows his stuff.

For the ones looking at investment opportunities in Texas, now might be a great time to consider areas surrounding these data centers and the broader Dallas market.Best regards,Drago

Hi Everyone,I got started in real estate investing about 12 years ago after attending a Rich Dad Poor Dad conference, which sparked my interest.

If there are any established groups or if you would be interested in creating one, please let me know or it would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction!

Any information/suggestions anyone can provide is greatly appreciated!

A Heloc is a open end mortgage like a credit card so its an additional trade line on credit, cannto never be used as an Asset, PITI reserve, and its a DTI killer in most cases.A heloc is also usually set up on a shorter term versus a mortgage, carries a Higher interest rate, and most carry a interest only with a prepayment penalty.

Over the past 4 months I sent out about 3,000 letters to a semi-targeted list (2% reponse rate), made 1,000 cold calls (25% response rate), had multiple investor friendly realtors looking for oportunities, and of course checked zillow/realtor daily.

But as I think about my long term plans, between the higher vacancy rate, the added monthly expenses, and all of the correspondence with potential renters, I'm strongly considering UN-furnishing it and going back to a long term rental.

I found it a great place to invest in because of it's location to major cities and the quality of life, especially with all the coastal towns along the shoreline which creates high demand and high rents.
