Study the market.

@Carlos Quiros that's not typical for the hard money lenders in my market. 

Hello,I'm an investor based in Seattle seeking opportunities in markets that offer positive cash flow.

I’m leaning more towards an apartment locator, mainly because of the current housing market in Austin, there are not many properties available.

His knowledge and ability to analyze the market is extremely impressive.

Based on your market, you'll figure it out pretty quickly if mid-term is for you or not.

I'm trying to decide between building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on my existing property (secured permit) and investing in a rental property in a cheaper market.

The location, school district, and lack of availible single fammily homes on the market.

Some considerations are the type of loan (Conventional, DSCR, etc), the type of property, the market the property is in, the location, your income and employment, the timeframe on the cashout - the list goes on.Generally speaking, you *should* be able to cashout refi up to 75-80% LTV of the appraised value after rehab, usually following a seasoning period.

Cleveland is a great rental market, with a low cost of entry and strong rents.
