Post: $130k Cash what to do?

Hi BP,

I have quite a bit of equity sitting in a rental property I own. Gathering different opinions here. What would YOU personally do with about $130k cash to invest in real estate. Just want to hear everybody's thoughts.


I have several properties with over $100,000 in equity. For those that are 1-4 unit properties on fixed-rate 30-year mortgages, I'm generally not making any changes since they were purchased at low interest rates. However, if interest rates continue to decline, I might consider refinancing some of them to improve my liquidity position. 

For my commercial properties, I refinance every five years, allowing me to continuously access the equity as long as the cash flow can support the debt service requirements. I hope this helps! Ultimately, it depends on your goals and the opportunities available for investing your wealth.

Quote from @Mitchell Truong:

Hello and thank you in advance for any advice! I'm really new to investing out of state. I'm looking into purchasing a rental property in the Belmont area of Dayton, OH and wanted to get any insight for this market as it seems concerning that the average rent is higher compared to the actual costs of houses in the area. Wondering if the vacancy rate is higher in the area as it seems more advantageous to just buy a house and pay mortgages rather than renting. Thank you again for all your time! 


What do you mean the average rent is higher than the actual cost of the houses?

Quote from @Elimar Rios Guzman:

Hello BiggerPockets Community,

My name is Elimar Guzman, and I'm excited to be a part of this thriving network of real estate enthusiasts and professionals! 

I'm brand new to real estate investing and currently live overseas in Japan. My current focus is long distance real estate investing, buy-and-hold rentals, and house hacking, and I'm eager to get my first deal and expand my knowledge in the field. 

I joined BiggerPockets to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experienced members, and contribute to discussions where I can add value. I believe collaboration and shared knowledge/insights are key to success in real estate. 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy bodybuilding, working on cars, and anything that keeps me physically active outdoors, which helps me remain grounded and focused.

I'm looking forward to networking, exchanging ideas, and building lasting relationships in this community. If you're in northern Indiana or have expertise in the Great Lakes region, I'd love to connect!

Thanks for welcoming me, and happy investing!  


 Welcome to the BP community!

I have the same issue. I am paying around $450 per month for a 4plex in Columbus Ohio. If anyone knows good insurance brokers, that would be great. 


 That seems pretty high. I have a list of referrals I can send you.

It's obvious why there are a lot of landlords who won't rent to people with evictions or felonies on their records. However, there are some landlords who discriminate against people with tattoos on certain locations of their body. Should landlords be allowed to discriminate against people with tattoos during the tenant screening process? Is a landlord screening against people with tattoos going a step too far?

 Yes. Landlords should discriminate against anyone that is not a protected class

 I 100% agree. Discriminating against people IS our job.......

Look at us Remi, ever since you told me to F myself in that Podcast, we've become bro's.

I have to be nice to everyone now that they made @Jonathan Greene a moderator, and you got Mr Stevens banned. My days are numbered on this site


Now I can finally tell you that behind the scenes, there are lots of dartboard mockups of the Columbus Cartel, but based on our conversations, you know you aren't near the top anymore. You have a lot of agents under you that love to be the bullseye. :)


 Fire them agents Remi!!!


 No. They are my retirement plan
