Hello investors, I'm a first-time landlord who lives out of state and seeking advice.During pandemic, I purchased a rental property near Austin for around $380k with 25% down and a low interest 30yr mortgage.

And not that I would use it, but I have yet to receive the $250,000/$500,000 pre-approval they promised for all in attendance.Glass half full, they did provide certain meals, a couple of cocktails and a guided bus tour of investment "opportunities", which they applied considerable pressure for offers on, one with a suggested "ARV" that was at least $100k above highly reliable AVM (automated valuation models) I have access to.Overall, I say stay away, unless their Funding Tour comes within driving distance and then only so you can see for yourself.
