Cash from HELOC
What was the outcome?
The place is cash flowing now, but was very rocky for 2 years. Failed city inspections, presence of lead in the garage, repairs not made. It was a learning experience, and encourage any would-be out of state investors to go an see the property. Meet the seller and management staff. The price of the trip would have been cheaper than the headaches I had to endure. I've turned to investing in my local area. Currently yielding 10.49% CoC ROI after putting aside reserves for repairs and vacancies.
Lessons learned? Challenges?
Would be leery of additional out of state investing without doing due diligence.
