From what I've read so far on these forums, don't start out investing in C- or lower blocks. 

It's an awesome way to jump into RE yes its scary at first but as long as you have a criteria going in it eases some of the emotions during the process my biggest thing was lower my cost or keeping it the same.

I am in Milwaukee, very hot rental market.Whenever you have an issue like this, think with an XLS and project dollars, for example:- 2 months lost rent: 2 x $2000- 5% lower purchase price: $15,000 

Lower interest rate at 12% is $8,400 year ($42K for 5 years) plus his initial investment of $70K equals $112K.

I think it was Airbnb that had suggestions for me to lower my pricing because they were scanning the competition (Booking.com in that scenario) and saw a lower price.  

Which you want to lower?

In areas such as NYC the market tends to be a little lower, from what I understand.

Airdna wants me to lower the price but I also do not make enough, still better than $0.I will link my few, one has a long-term renter https://abnb.me/AQJoTn3zJpbhttps://abnb.me/ZMAc7i5zJpbhttps://abnb.me/GtVbaF6zJpb

They work for my mom because it is a lower commission split, I feel like I am struggling because I have no leads.

HELOC: A cash-out refinance could be more beneficial if you're looking for a lump sum to purchase the new property outright, particularly because interest rates may be lower than a HELOC.
