Hey @David Fals, It sounds like you are doing all the right things by expanding your search and staying flexible in your approach.

When done well, you can utilize cash-out refinances to acquire ore properties.Taking the turn-key (move in ready) approach is an option, but you need to have cash on hand at all times as you will need a minimum of 20% down for most DSCR purchases.

Been seeing more movement in the note space lately — both performing and non-performing.Just wondering what everyone’s current approach is.

Does this sound like a solid plan, or would you approach it differently?

Is there another way I should be approaching this?
