Shawn, I agree with Nathan that while you might not get your money back from installing the mini splits, it can definitely help you sell the property faster.

And yes, many times, doing a cashout refi, even if rates are higher, will accelerate your scaling faster.

But w/ SEO it's a bit different... because w/ PPC or direct mail you can get a result faster... w/ SEO it may take 6-12 months to get consistent leads from SEO... but once you get the high ranking you'll have leads coming in really consistently at an extremely low cost per lead and cost per deal. 

The upside is faster capital growth. 

@Emily Ruiz in a market like that in TX it is worth the risk in my opinion because those values are going to continue going up at a faster pace than most others over the next 10-15 years.

Can you rehab cheaper, better, faster to make your numbers better. 

Of course the adage is "if the numbers work" but what areas inside 1604 do you think with will grow the fastest or be the best to consider for flipping for homes under 400k ARV Hey Nathan, I personally like the top half of the map. north 281 will grow faster than the other sides imo as well.   

The PM is just showing the place at this point as I have taken over communication because I'm more urgent and faster and communication back.

@Lucas Schlund there are logically, 3 options:1) Buy Cash: PROS: You can get better prices on houses because you can close faster with motivated sellers and buy houses that need repairs to qualify for a mortgage (less buyer competition)CONS: takes the longest to save the funds2) Use Rehab Loan:PROS: Same as #1CONS: more expensive loans:---FHA 203(k): not that expensive, but must live in the property for 12 months before renting---DSR Rehab loan: relatively expensive and may need experience to qualify3) Mortgage on Property with Cosmetic Repairs:PROS: easiest & cheapest to doCONS: lots of competition, so can be hard to find a "deal"PM us if you'd like to discuss these in more detail.
