Well if you won't consider cash out refi or HELOC your other option is to accumulate more cash.  

Hi BP, We just got a letter for one of our rental properties (it's quickly becoming a problem property for me,) and it is a "30 day notice of an intent to file a Municipal Lien" for an $8000.00 past due utility bill accumulated by the previous owner over a year before we purchased the property.   

Look at how long it will take you to accumulate cash flow where the total will equal the amount you can have right away from a flip. 

Hi i am 22 years old and i will be purchasing a home in 8 months, i have 700+ credit score, i will be using an FHA loan for a home that is around $400,000, i will be house hacking and i will only need to cover $500 of a $2500 mortgage, I have no bills and my car is paid off, I want to get into real estate investing and accumulate properties.

The boxes we live in should not be the focus while we are in the accumulation phase of our journey.  

I invest in ATM's which give me a great return and a large amount of depreciation with no recapture, so these type of investments help with the passive loss aggregation.Basically, with the Lazy 1031, you need to continue to accumulate passive losses to offset the depreciation recapture when the investments go full cycle.I hope that makes sense!

My two short-term objectives are: Scale up my portfolio by accumulating a bunch of BRRRR deals in more affordable markets by relying on a strong boots on the ground team.

It is even worse during the pandemic, because the Federal government prohibited eviction, causing larger debt to accumulate.

they usually don't leave the gas on with a leak because the danger is from gas accumulation starting a fire or resulting in an explosion.

I ultimately want to have enough units to stop working and continue to accumulate more rental properties and passive income to help my parents retire and enjoy the rest of their lives.
