Both ft worth housing and Tarrant County are so impacted they can’t accept any more applications or people because they don’t have enough homes for rent on housing.

@Tanisha ElieHere is some information for your considerationPolk County/Lakeland is ideally located centrally to Orlando and Tampa, we have many warehouses strategically located throughout Polk County, to include warehouses for Amazon, IKEA, RoomsToGo, PepsiCo and Publix which make this area strategic for distribution throughout Florida, not to mention Publix is headquartered in Lakeland, and we also have a large presence for Coca Cola bottling and Juices in Auburndale, FL which is about 10-20 min from Lakeland.You will also find LegoLand located in Winter Haven, which is and adventurous theme park with rides and a water park, ideal for the kids, we have many families visiting this area year round, this helped cause an uptick in short term rentals (airbnb, VRBO). https://www.legoland.com/florida/Lakeland is also home to the yearly SUN 'n FUN held in April, which is Florida's largest annual convention, which spans over 6 days on 2200 acres, and it has been recorded to have had a $64 Million direct and indirect economic impact on the I-4 corridor (From Tampa to Orlando). https://www.flysnf.org/about/We have team in this area working on most aspects of investing, I would be glad to help, PM me if you want to chat further.

Instead look at the impact of having an extra $100K to invest. 

I’ll check in with the local governing bodies and will look into the WiFi enabled systems.

I like browsing through the forums as a way of fun in between doing deals for myself or my clients.They read my body of work and contact me.

It’s sort of like a balancing act, I tracked my credit score very closely (credit karma) and strategize what to pay off that will have the biggest impact on my score to boost it enough to get the best interest rate when refinancing. 

The main body of the building is being for private events and will continue being used for such as it is slowly remodeled. 10-30yr hold: convert to residential condo using private funds or lender, or sell. of course if high offers come in before then we will consider cashing out.

Jeremy Karja If someone is going to pay full market value for your house, there is a good chance they will want to be an owner-occupant.Someone looking for a rental property is going to make a different offer (probably lower) as they will need to consider repairs, capex and all other things impacting their net cashflow on the investment.Some lenders will allow you to go up to 85% LTV on a primary residence HELOC, depending on your FICO score, DTI, other investment holdings, etc.If reducing your commute time is priority, than you wouldn’t need to be concerned with drafting up a lease agreement with the buyer anyway.

The smart thermostats are really cool, and you can also get the ones with body heat sensors or decibel meters if you’re worried about noise, but so far we’ve actually gone with the Mr Cool DIY split AC systems with the WiFi integration, and been very happy with them.

Newer loans, hard credit inquiries, too high of balances will definitely impact your score.
