Through this journey, I’ve built strong relationships and developed valuable expertise in:Researching micromarkets and identifying comparables, potencial Accurately estimating construction or remodeling costs.Securing fast and reliable financing through partnerships with two top hard money lenders in Texas, offering competitive rates.I’m on this platform to connect with capital partners who are seeking an annual ROI of 12%-15%.

I've got about $525K in equity in the property, but lenders have told me that I cannot get a HELOC to access that equity for additional purchases because the duplex was financed as an investment - they have said TX law dictates that HELOC can only be used on primary residences.

If you had to hire an attorney on your own to advise you on this stuff, that makes the self-managing rather expensive.
