Honestly that’s the reason I even considered a cash out refi sacrificing my low rate for a greater return in an investment. 

May I follow up in a month?"

My name is Culver and I am just getting started in my real estate investing journey.

Five years ago, I thought I had all the answers.

I lived in Sound End for a bit; beautiful, walkable area with plently to do 

When I got started I fell into this trap of trying to create all this complexity and then realized it was not worth it at all and all it did was create chaos and add more costs.

I got a suggestion for a company called TruFinCo.

Wrapping up renovations on one side of my first duplex and I closed in July.

I also have a HYSA. 

Duplexes and multifamily are an option as well, although the dynamics are a little different.If I was still living in BR, I'd househack somewhere in Mid City - capital heights, hundred oaks, poets corner, overpass, etc.
