I do think there is value in searching the public records.

Not to mention the added CF to what you would experience now since the new property would be worth 50% more than the current one.

It's essential to keep detailed records of income and expenses for each property separately to ensure accurate reporting.

I am looking for homes in the Fort Worth,Tx area to do the BRRRR method with. 

There's a lot of money to be made in PM, and I do not believe most of the franchises available offer anything proprietary and worth paying for (certainly not that IFF and their royalty percentage.) 

The one-time 8% fee on the initial amount of the line of credit stings, of course, but the access to that capital we think is worth it to get started. 

If I were in your shoes, I would do the following:- set 6 months worth of income aside in a HYSA to save it for a rainy day (this will help shield you if you lose your job, or if something goes horribly awry with your investment properties)- open a Bank on Yourself life insurance policy (this is a specific type of high dividend paying whole life insurance where you can borrow against the cash value in your policy at any time and the money will continue growing as if you never took out a loan.

I know that where I do business (mostly Arizona) we add additional clauses to our agreement for sale to help mitigate the seller being nefarious and providing enough public record to keep things on the up and up with title companies.

Each single-family home is worth about $125,000 since they are not on separate parcels.

It's not worth someone falling through the floor over a hundred dollars.
