The cost of the loan is so expensive that there is no room for much of a profit.

Hi @Somesh MukherjeeFellow lender here - Not sure where you are in the process but as Matthew said - location is top priority, not just in terms of the tenant pool but depending on the loan program you're seeking (say DSCR), the comps in the area can also impact your appraisal and what rate and term you'll qualify for.

ROI do not take into account time value of money (selling the asset at year 8 instead of year 2 at the same price, your ROI is relatively similar, but your IRR is far from being the same).4- LEarn to analyze your portfolio: aggregate altogether all your assets and analyze if there's any project cash flow that would be required (balance of sale, loans, etc).

I'm looking at what options I have to pull equity out of other rental properties I have.Does anyone know of investor-friendly lenders that service the San Antonio / South Texas area and will allow home equity loans or HELOCs on rental properties?

@Joseph MuleroTo boost your rent plan and make more money in the medium-length rent market, think about these steps: slowly add furniture to the new place while you stay in your current home, pick cheap furniture, use a credit card with good terms, look into loan options like personal loans or home equity credit lines, try out the market by listing the place with few furniture pieces, aim for easy-to-change furniture for flexibility, and talk to pros like real estate agents or home decorators.

I intend to build a home that will be rented out to offset the costs of ownership.I can find construction to permanent loans on second homes easily.
