Wife and I are wanting to embark on a new journey
My wife and I are new to the real-estate world. We have been scouring countless threads and listening to multiple podcasts. My question is do we sell our home and use some of that cash to our advantage in buying a few properties for rental purposes? We eventually would love to do a flip but honestly don’t know enough about the market and what the future holds. I guess I look at it as we can buy a few rentals and not worry about a crash. Or, could we use a line of credit and use the equity in our home to do so? Just seeing what the experts have to say.
