Specifically, I am looking at partnering with an individual who owns securities (stock and mutual funds) having them take out a line of credit against their portfolio (SBLOC) at a low interest rate, and using that to purchase properties rather than using a mortgage.

New landlord question- if I have an individual who wants to rent my place for their parent - who do I have fill out the application?  

Is 10% ($1,750) per month in simple, taxable, spendable interest very attractive after owning real estate that likely did not generate that kind of cash flow? 

When we built up the triplex, we set it up so that each of the 11 rooms can be rented out individually (all BR, except 2, have their own bathroom behind an electronically locked door).

While they cash flow, we've realized we're over-leveraged and want to take a different approach.Our plan is to purchase our first investment property in Indiana, possibly paying cash, with the goal of generating reliable income.

Open houses are typically used to generate leads, not sell houses.

I had no money to put down on any properties, so I learned (a lot) and put in a lot of hard work and effort to get some properties under contract.Initially, I had no clue what I was doing, but I had the help of some people (and I appreciated that)I made mistakes that cost me around $30k (lost a deal due to my ignorance regarding title and escrow)The good news with wholesaling is that it doesn't take a lot of capital upfront, and you can start talking to sellers and learn about the industry in general.The other good news is that you can without a doubt generate revenue quickly if you do things correctly (having a good TC / title / escrow connection that keeps deals moving on the backend)That said, there are a few points that I've come to live by:1.

The Numbers:Cash Flow Analysis: Investors typically look for properties that will generate positive cash flow—meaning the income from rent covers the property’s expenses (mortgage, taxes, maintenance, etc.) and then some.

This will be a generational MF opportunity, akin to 2008 SFR.

It was suggested that we create an operational company that will lease rooms to individuals in recovery.
