Partner Driven financed this deal through a combination of internal capital and resources provided by our partner, Seth Choate.

We MIGHT be able to find that if we get a home equity loan on our Texas rental property - but it would all depend what it appraises for... my guess is we would be a little short but could hopefully combine it with the builder refund.  3.

Airbnb/VRBO do bring in about 60% of our bookings but that does leave another 40% to direct bookings and a combination of our other platforms (Marriott Homes and Villas, Booking.com, JetBlue and Allegiant Airlines, Google Vacation Rentals, and more). 

The combination should help you develop new strategies (money applications), and how and where to apply these strategies.2 - You don't need money, at least your own money. 

I suspect I have had some luck combined with screening my tenants well.  

This is the biggest load of crap so-called "SEO experts" will tell you.

But if all you're doing is acting as a PM, that's all I'm willing to pay you for.No conventional lender is going to allow you to have a CLTV (combined LTV) of 100%.  

I appreciated that their pricing packages were customizable to what you need as a combination of their PM software, maintenance coordination, leasing services, and/or delinquency assistance.

I am not sure what the status of it currently is — already capped, I imagine.So based on my current circumstances, and in alignment with your suggestion, I was thinking that the best option would be for me to continue to live in this condo, continue saving up, and then combine my savings + pull equity from this prop to invest in an affordable investment property when I can, ideally after a year or so.

Combine the 2 and you have a cash flow situation that would be real difficult to match on a new purchase.
