I also know that this strategy is often used to leverage available cash for multiple deals.However, as a new investor, I've decided to focus on purchasing one property at a time and go through the learning process until I complete a refinance.Only after receiving the funds from the bank would I consider rolling into another deal or multiple deals.In this situation, do you think it's better to still take the 80% loan from a hard money lender, or should I use the cash I have and purchase the property outright?

Use this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below FCheers from Fort Worth, TX

This is classica analysis paralysis fodder.

The amount of cold calls I get now from this sole property under my personal name are endless.

This is a good post on understanding KC neighborhoods: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1055135-under...This one is also worth looking at, although it's a bit old:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/276800-kansas...

I am also a licensed realtor, but only use it for investing purposes.I am very Jubilant to have joined this vast network!!!

I realize residential financing doesn't currently allow for this and pulling money out down the road could be more complex or strictly in the commercial lending realm.Any and all feedback is appreciated!

How do I solve this.

Any guidance or resources to deepen my understanding on this subject would be greatly appreciated, as I'm fully committed to investing the necessary effort.
