I have 3 years of experience in real estate investment projects here in Dallas, TX.

Others recommend tools like Stessa or Buildium to track actual costs and project future expenses. 

I rent out a 2 unit property in baltimore county. I just got a notice from the MD department of assessments & taxation that the value of my property will increase from 120k to 261k , spread out over 3 years equall...

Exactly 1 year later my first tenant moved his family in where his kids and dog can play in the massive yard while raising 2 cows in the barn.

Small demolition projects make massive impacts.

Value add opportunities are over-shadowed by massive amounts of new construction. 

However, if you want long-term stability and predictable payments, refinancing might be a better option, especially for larger projects.

Refinance after project, cashed out and continue to receive positive cash flow.

Not a single one of the properties I was under contract for made any sense once the massive price increases were put in play.

I’ve done a couple of fix-and-flip projects in the past using a hard money lender (HML), which has its pros and cons.I’m currently looking at a couple more properties and trying to decide if I should go with an HML again or explore other financing options.
