I wanted to know if anyone has used land contracts to sell properties.

Figuring out how you are going to pay for the property is step 1. 

We're meeting a potential property manager tonight!

If I'm able to make a cash purchase, do you recommend stabilizing the property before seeking a DSCR loan i.e. is it better to use a DCR based on real rental income once the property is leased or based on a rent appraiser before leasing?

You will gain acquisition, project management, and property management experience.

Purchase price: $280,000 Cash invested: $580,000 We purchase a family compound with 5 houses on the property.

You'll be required to keep some equity in the property, and the amount depends on the lender/program.It's not TECHNICALLY a cash out refinance, it's called delayed financing. 

Hi Everyone,Many years ago I had the goal of purchasing multiple investment properties and finally met it back in 2021 I am now super excited about and want to work and invest in the development of new apartment complexes or neighborhoods.Any thoughts on who to follow on X or YouTube and which development companies to reach out to that are in Austin/Houston?

@Michael Upson is this for your primary residence or an investment property?

It will be mobile homes that have to be moved from the property
