That person can likely help me wade through the intricacies with more confidence.  

Check with your local lender/agent.How confident are you in the reno budget/timeline?

I don't want to sound overconfident, but I feel like I have a very strong start and I'm very confident in my ability to do this, and I'm just seeking more advice from anyone that will give it to me.

Get these questions answered to the point that you're confident taking action. 

Welcome to Dallas (in June), it's a great city.I have the furniture costs built into the rehab cost right now since I am not 100% confident on which way I am going with yet (rental/Airbnb) but if broken out I am targeting about $2,500 for the 1BR.I plan on handling the cleaning myself for the first unit but will most likely hire a service as I expand but I have not factored in that cost for this one.

Its in 35816, bought it for 70K needs 30-35K of rehab and I am confident that it will appraise for 145k-160K and rent for 1200-1350.

Also, property values in my neighborhood have gone up so much that I have some confidence that I could meet the 75% ltv ratio on a refinance.

I would love to purchase these houses since I am confident I could get them under value and rent them out quickly.

I hear all the time that getting the first deal will help get the ball rolling, help gain confidence, and get you in the game!
