There are plenty of people who have been able to start a career with nothing more than drive and a dream so I'll let them post how they did it however I'd wager that they are the minority and the hard situation is this is a cash intensive business. 

i'm not finding the wording of this on internet searches that i am researchingdoes the original occupancy satifiy the HELOC if there is any type of requirement?

I am a "techie" and I am targeting other "techie" clientele - i.e. people who need a quiet place to work remotely (with great internet speed) or who are in the beginning of their IT/desk-professional-job career and need an affordable furnished place for a few months/years.

10 minutes at a local bar, restaurant, or coffee shop asking questions to locals will be more valuable than 100 hours of internet research.

The internet doesn't know everything.

But the overwhelming proof for how effective Carrot is for SEO is all over the internet.

@Telle CherishSo you know, no matter what you see or read on the internet….a POF is for a Cash purchae, not a finaned one and (a “soft” POF is just a BS made up term) is  Proof that You already have the cash in an account in Your name already….period. 

Overall I was nervous naturally because of the uncertainty of everything lately, but felt confident in my last year of research and remember feeling this same way when buying my first rental.Taking the leap is the hardest part.Lastly, know that the "money printer go brrrr" as the internet has said, I do not think the government is going to stop stepping in to help get America through this, people are saving 33% more and incomes are actually up substantially due to government checks.

We are buying everything we can in parts of East Clev, as well, YEP, EAST, my advice, stay off the internet, total waste of time. 

I am a realtor but I am not always available and he is such a demanding person and only meet his time requirements.No application or nothing from him except the potential tenant questionnaire.I would rather he will not internets my property.
