Good morning, TylerI am a broker in Austin and manage properties in addition to brokering deals.

Initially, I thought this was the perfect scenario for a buy and hold investor - acquire a property that is already rented and cashflowing, no brainer, but this hasn't been the case.  

I know the city extremely well, as I've grew up here, so my only addition is knowing competitive advantages of the landscape, i.e. incoming Silicon Beach tech scene, gentrifying hip neighborhoods, etc.

The basis of the program stated that a group of people would drive around with someone that was more experiences so they could teach those that were interested a little about what they look for in terms of a potential property to acquire.

I am hoping to see if anyone has any good lenders that can close quickly on FL properties (7-10days).Gulfport, FLPurchase: $185,000Rehab:  $35,000ARV:  $289,000I can provide additional information if need be..Thank you.

Additionally, close to a college is good...but is also labor intensive and you will need money to fix things. 

Hello - Been speaking with my wife recently about the need for additional streams on income.

I have acquired a good amount of experience dealing with people and companies managing my real estate investments in the UAE but know that I need to develop myself and learn many things.Look forward to this journey!

Weigh the refinance cost Vs the additional amount that you can cash out so that you can decide if it is worth proceeding or not...Also do note the change in the monthly payment with this new loan...

I'm a fan of creating repeatable processes, putting them in place, and managing the process rather than the work and every single person involved.This is all good stuff worth considering, I'll PM you for additional information/discussion.
