The market I’m in is great for renters (but the quality of renters can make you pay attention to their applications)  I’m rehabbing the 3rd house now, plan to remodel the 2nd house after I’m complete and then unsure if I should:-obtain traditional mortgage then should I cash out refi and find more property?

Raising opm makes sense but you need to have a product / investment someone would want to invest in Is that deal Better than what the competition offers?

This was the situation the first property we bought was in- I assume these guys were buying for appreciation, or maybe borrowed against the house to fund another investment house, then the bottom dropped out of the market...

If rates really are going to come down it seems the 5 year ARM might be the smart play here but I’d love some experience to weigh in. I

I do not want to HAVE to do something like smash my face against someone else to maintain the cashflow that my current W-2 brings in. I

I would have ordered a new filter off Amazon, sent someone by to put it in and sent her an invoice for the cost of the filter plus a $95 installation fee.When she asks for other upgrades advise her: You accepted the premises in their present condition when you signed your lease and moved in. I

The spot you are in is tough.You could pay down higher interest debt but at the opportunity cost of a higher return you could get from buying another property.I’m going to go a different direction here…If your goal is financial freedom in 10 years, you can do it by scaling in the small single and multi space.If your goal is financial freedom in less than 2 years, you should consider jumping right into larger commercial deals.

The best property to invest in is one that matches your goals.

I am having a hard time determining the best way to get a good deal done if I can only get a loan to cover a purchase price of 100k or more.If you're looking to expand in IN I would for sure reach out to small, local banks that have no more than 10 locations.
