It's essential to recognize that all investments carry assumptions and risks, but informed decisions are based on historical data and trends.

Hi guys -  im based in the SF Bay Area and looking to invest in some SFR's in Dallas with a partner.

I also spoke to my realtor about possible rent and she said based on my location alone I could get $1700-$1800 for a studio/1BR. 

Alternatively, you could buy land and build but you'd have to find one of the reputable builders you can trust.

Alternatively, if the property is tenanted, the income approach may estimate value by capitalizing the income.

The question is just how beneficial it'll be based on the property and your specific circumstances.

I am not a QI soliciting business, but have had customer experiences with all of the big ones out there.DM me if you want my perspective.One of my very best experiences has been with a QI based on Florida.

Prices have skyrocketed in my area and based off comps, I believe my prop would appraise for around $700k.

Another option if this is strictly for investment purposes, you could try to go DSCR. we have one lender that will allow for 1-4 units (inv. prop solely) who will go as low as 620 fico, but your LTV may be limited to, say, 70%. qualifying would be based on the rents received, not off your $100k income. there are options out there, keep working at it and get a 2nd opinion even on a full-doc loan. hope this was helpful to some degree!

Our current focus is working on 1-4 unit fix and flips, but eventually work towards being able to refinance properties and keep and cash flow them.My question is  tailored on the the way I should structure our relationship for the legal and tax base purposes.Should I secure the deals under my business and pay my partner out of my business operating account?
