Should still have about $175k in capital on hand after adding what we will personally save from our budget during this time frame also. 

Its the same process as if you were using a bank but the money is coming from another entity or person and not a bank.

Hey there,Finding markets that still cash flow after a maximum cash-out refinance, especially in a high-interest-rate environment, can be challenging but not impossible.

I’m looking to do LTR on the property, and ideally won’t need an out, but there’s always the challenge of life changing events.

Collin County seems to be over price, the same than Denton County, though you could find some deals there is always a challenge to find the right one.One thing to take in mind is the maintenance cost, Fort Worth has older houses that will cause issues on the maintenance, if you are looking low maintenance you will need to look a few and identify how you fell comfortable.

Personally, I think this state maybe the best place to get started because houses are so cheap here.

I have almost 400 units and we average about 40% turnover per year.Based on personal experience and networking with thousands of investors and property managers for the last 15 years, tenants tend to stay longer when they are (a) way below market rates, or (b) poorly supervised.

I personally found I’m good at it if it’s a simple job, normal easy walls, but hire out if its 2-story height, painting cabinetry, wood windows etc as they are a all a big pain.

The simple answer is that you can hire a property manager to ensure that your experience is passive and you remove the personal interractions with your tenants.
