@Kyle Kline“Investing for equity and not cash flow” doesn’t mean “buy properties that don’t cash flow.”To me, invest for equity not cash flow means that the PRIMARY reason to invest is for equity growth and an increase in net worth and NOT cash flow.I’ve been investing for over 40 years and while cash flow is important, it’s not why invest.A property must be self supporting ie produce enough cash flow to cover debt service, operational expenses including repairs and replacements.

Wood has a huge variability in strength--between pine varieties, the stress which can cause them to fail varies by more than 2x and you can see 20%+ increase in strength as it ages.Then I have stress concentrations which will yield and then redistribute the load in practice, but not according to the calculations I'm allowed to do. 

I'm also curious if the amount that you get for the LOC, would the fees get higher as your LOC increases?   

This really has not changed much but has increased since a few years ago everyone was pushing overpriced deals.So if you want to make the most money in real estate - you do not need to learn real estate just be a good sales person and fake it till you make it.
