Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: I’m exploring strategies to scale my real estate portfolio given the current mortgage rate Not sure much makes sense at 11%...Ouch....tough enough at 7.5%   Might have to put more than 20% down to finance....maybe 30% in North Texas.   

Private Money or Hard Money LendersIf traditional financing is a challenge, a private or hard money lender could fund the construction phase.

Don't take out a HELOC Jason, it's not worth the time it takes for the amount of money you need.

With the massive Taiwanese semiconductor plant under construction in Phoenix, bringing billions in investment and thousands of jobs, how significant do you think the ripple effect will be on the local real estate market?

Also, about seeing a property in person:  I have found local real estate agents, who are willing to go out and take photos and email to you, for a modest fee.

Even the funding alone is easier since you now have a cash flowing property that can help you fund your seed money faster. 

I spent time and money to finally lock in one deal, which didn't sell until 2024.

The money is deposited in the 1st even, if it’s a Sunday or a holiday, it can’t bounce, and it can’t be taken back. . 

Real estate is easy to get into, but hard to earn a living. 87% of all agents quit within two years because they don't make enough money.
