Time to take it to the next level
I am new to BP and loving the wealth of information on this app! So a little background on me....Through time while in the military I have acquired three SFH which I have dedicated to each of my kids which bring me cash flow from low $450 to as high as $800 a month. I find myself looking for deals but also have a barrier with a higher debt to income ratio due to bad investments outside of real estate. I am just a hard working parent wanting to leave a debt free house to each of my kids by the time they are in their mid 20's. Even though I am new to BP, I can relate to some of stories and I share the same passion. I am ready to take it to the next level! How can I leverage my properties that have equity but have barriers cashing out due to my debt to income being on the high side? Your advice is greatly appreciated
