Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Kenmare.

If you have not flipped a home, do not have a rental property, and do not own a primary residence, you may have a hard time getting into lending.

I am just starting my investment journey, so have only used Real Estate Agents to assist with buying and selling my primary residence. 

There are companies who buy homes, renovate them, place a resident in, sell the property then manage the property as well on the back end.

Hi Joe,Using a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on your primary residence can be a practical and low-cost way to fund flips, especially since the terms you mentioned include only a $200 yearly fee.

It would be a primary residence.

The only thing I would say in a area that is cheap is flip it wash your hands of it ASAP .

@Jonathan Greene I'm not sure what you mean by "most will not cash flow as an out-of-country investor" as it might suggest that the cash-flow of a given property has something to do with the nationality or residence of the owner but, in any case, you're absolutely correct that, historically, the net rental yields of LTRs in US cash-flow markets like the Mid-West have been typically higher than in the average European market, although that wouldn't be the case for many other US markets like California or New York.
