I would suggest a Cash Out Refinance to be the best option, you can pull out up to 75% of the property value.

It simple you just apply for a investment property loan, if you go the traditional bank route they will typically allow a DTI up to 43%, 20 to 25% downpayment and would require 6 months of PITI in reserves. When you buy a investment property they will calculate the rent minus the mortgage, taxes, insurance and HOA. this will calculate what the net rental income from the property. The rent will usually cover the PITI, HOA and leave you with positive cash flow that is now considered income. So the rent is covering the debt service on the property. On the other hand if you DTI is to high, you would have to pay down some of your debt or go with a stated income or loan that is based on the properties cash flow..

Hi Naeem,
For real estate networking, you can try Jet Lending, Ouest, White Pickett Fences, RICH Club to name a few and you can also log in to meetup.com to join and find out the dates for events. I attended Champion School or Real Estate so I would recommend it. You may want to also look a property in Katy TX, great rental market. I am on the financing side so if you have any questions pertaining to financing feel free to ask. Good Luck!
