It will take extra work at first, but the payoff can be well worth it if you’re up for the challenge.I won't sugarcoat it—BRRRR isn't easy, especially when you're juggling everything else in life.

The extra cost is typically well worth the benefit. 

We will take the quick deal any day over making a few extra thousand bucks.  

Remember to always budget 10-25% (depending on age/condition) extra as a buffer.

That would mean the extra 5k would technically come out of my pocket, right? 

. :)   I'll likely do the HELOC and not worry about the extra taxes on gains over $500k when I finally do sell someday. 

I am wondering how best to truly know that one’s developers will produce what I expect, windows are usually a given😃 not all that happy with this extra thousand dollar excursion but I have definitely learned much.

I don’t want to underutilize the equity on this property so I feel like taking out 100 grand on our Primary where the rates suck already and it will only cost me an extra 600 or 700 bucks a month. 

You would build equity in your own property and could save an extra $2,000 a month.

I don’t have a lot of extra capital each month to invest in large-scale real estate opportunities yet, but I’m motivated to build up my resources and experience.
