Math has never been my strong suit so I am trying to be meticulous in my research and calculations.

I'm currently in the process of finding my next deal and I've been looking at Memphis and Little Rock for strong cash flow markets.

You can still app, get full underwritten loan approval,  clear all your loan conditions, do your appraisal, then order loan docs after you've transferred your title back to your personal name.Your settlement agent/escrow/title will most likely ask you for your LLC operating agreement to document the chain of title and that you owned your LLC prior to transferring it to your name to issue the title commitment/policy for your refi.Hope that helps.  

Hi folks,I have a feeling this is a strong no but I'll ask anyway.

The reason I don’t want to house hack right now is because I’m committed to a one year lease on an apartment I haven’t even finished moving into yet ha.  

I guess having a strong vetting process in place will help limit the potential damage.

I don't think it's a bad thing to rent it because depending where it is you'll cash flow pretty well, but I would think you could do more with that $100K+ in Texas, I could be wrong though.Word of caution, if you plan to refinance it to get your $40K out you may need to stay for a year depending on the type of loan, otherwise you could be committing mortgage fraud. 

Incredibly strong housing demand, a crippling 1.5 months of inventory, and ongoing affordability concerns produced year over year declines last month in new listings, active listings, and pending sales in the City of Austin.

These should be people you actually know, and not an email list you bought somewhere.Approaching investors for soft commitments before you have something for them to invest in is the best way to prepare for when you do have something for them to invest in.

I'm very aware that I'm nowhere close to where I need to be in order to successfully commit to purchase a property yet.
