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.

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.

For more expensive properties you'll be wanting to pay a lower interest rate and doing short/mid term rentals.

Disappointed they put the septic tank relatively close to the house, even though the lot is over an acre.Neither Suncoast nor SI disclosed they were building other homes and marketing them for rent at the same time -- at a lower rate.I went under contract to buy a home in Ocala from SI in Summer 2018.

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.  

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

I do not have to do anything right now, I just need to learn, wait for the right opportunities, or create them - for example by trying to use subject to and take over someone else's payments who locked in a lower interest rate from a few years ago. 

Which you want to lower?
