Would appreciate any feedback on those who have faced a similar issue.

I work full time and have partnered with others in DFW on assignment of contract deals for a few years now.

If you're planning on purchasing out of state in a high yield market, just be prepared to lose money on the 1st purchase.

Total rent between the three is $3200/month.I have an adjustable 20 year mortgage with a balance of $100,000~ at 4.95% that is set to adjust in 2026.I also have a HELOC on that property at $180K~ with a 9.75% rate.

Conducting tenant reference checks is crucial for ensuring you find high-quality tenants who respect your property and pay rent on time.

Based on your post and your questions, it sounds like you are at the very beginning of your journey so you have to ask yourself, why do you want invest in real estate?

I recently watched a video where an investor bought a mortgage loan at a steep price, with an exit strategy that hinged entirely on getting the borrower to agree to one specific term.

@Ryan ArthYes please on the referrals.

So my tenant called me up 10/09 to announce she is moving out on 11/8 and giving 30 days notice.

I would look for a real estate agent focusing on investment properties.
