Very similar to direct mail but much more cost effective.

Had similar situation when I responded to a short sale.

Many investors who are in a similar position in my market (another HCOL/tenant friendly area) choose 1 of 3 options.1.

If you've had experience with similar deals or have knowledge of the McKeesport market, I'd greatly appreciate your insights.Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I'm still finding duplexes on the westside in this price range getting similar rents, if not a bit more. 

I was in a similar boat with credit card debt a while back, and consolidating it into a lower-interest loan really helped me out.

I have decided to look into a heloc, I'm a bit newer into realest state investing, I have completed a couple of fix%flips this year, I currently use hard money for the purchase with 10% down and I cover 100% of the rehab, with that said even just doing a couple of homes at a time, I find myself around 200k out of pocket, I think it would be a bit easier on myself and wife if we utilized a heloc vs just cash, my primary should appraise around 1.1m and my mortgage is 640k, I'm looking at pulling about 250k for a heloc, I don't want to refi the home and cash out as I only want to pay interest on funds as I use them ( I know I won't always be using the heloc cash) Any advice or even knowledge for people in a similar situation, and anyone have a referral for a Heloc?

Similar neighborhoods/suburbs to Clay/cicero would be in the east side of Syracuse, like DeWitt, Fayetteville, and Manlius.

Hello Timothy, What you are describing us actually more similar to a double close.

Combine that with rates that are near high for this century.  3 things could solve this 1) RE prices fall (that would be bad for me) 2) rents increase a lot without RE prices increasing similarly (this would be bad for tenants) 3) rates fall a lot.
