I believe it's a lot easier and quicker to foreclose in TX so you need to be ready to payoff the loan quickly in case it happens. 

I know some people who “just throw money atit” to get things done quicker, but I personally never would.

For a quicker analysis, the average tax rate for Texas is 2.8% (2.8 cents per $1).

We have seen worse(dated, worse street) houses going for more and quicker a month ago, not sure what to think.

The agent won't pay the 10k overage on repairs or hand you back 20k if the comps were too high any quicker than the wholesaler would.

- post 1950 build - In a C+ or above neighbourhood - Cash flow positive - single or multifamily -5% vacancy, 10%pm, 15%(cap ex, regular maintenance) - would prefer a quicker turnover not a full gut rehab Been looking on market, and my agent brings me some off market deals as well.

If you do a cash-out refinance, then you begin paying interest immediately and may feel rushed to put the capital to work on your next deal.Also, when you make an offer on a new property with a line of credit to fund the deal you can close much quicker than with most traditional financing methods.

The more units you own, the better.  5 years goes by quicker than you think. 

Sometimes the staff in my area was tough to reach by phone, even after leaving a polite message, so I followed up with an email several hours later in the day, also be prepared to drive to the Section 8 office if you need to move something along quicker.

If you want to grow your portfolio, then put that money away towards your next down payment.To me, it makes sense to pay off the loan early only in a very specific situation: You don't want to grow your business any more, because you recognize that paying off your current loans will give you enough cash flow to meet your goals, and you can get there quicker by paying down the loans rather than using the profit to buy more property.
