@Marc Shin Beware of the ever increasing property taxes in the North Texas markets.

Ask if they take debit cards and credit cards or must you write a check, The way I am comfortable with paying is payment for the job x amount, payment for the decorations according to a gross budget for everything, as they are purchased vs giving a pool of money to draw from.

I have been finding tenants thru Facebook marketplace, been lucky so far, but I’m plan to buy more properties and manage them myself, how do I find and screen them more professionally without paying anyone

.- Looking for rental friendly area- Want to be close to the beach / downtown Charleston- I am more interested in Johns Island due to tax dollars being put into that area#1 What does a good Charleston deal look like?

Most of the units I owned have room partners so they pay rent by their own individual bank ACH.

Also NEVER pay a GC upfront, ever. 

According to the agreement, she is also supposed to pay a penalty of $200 ($50 fine + $150 for $10 per day).

If you were to do a cash out refinance after the property is completed and take out that equity, you could pay off the heloc and lock in a lower long term rate on the home.

One other thing is that I paid a lot in points to buy down my rate which made the mortgage initially expensive… It will also take a while to refinance (a couple years) so I don't want to wait fully for that option eitherIf my tax rate is 30%, is it right for me to think that the cost of paying interest is ~5% instead of 7%?
