I ask them how their experience would differ if they owned the home?

I feel like I’ve walked the street without ever having been in the state.

Knowing who to contact and what lenders can execute in the marketplace is so crucial and as an investor, that can eat up a lot of time and resources that would otherwise be better used elsewhere when trying to do it on your own. 

Now, I'm shifting my focus to multi-family properties, particularly in landlord-friendly states.

If you're hesitant to do a new deal, are there any properties you currently own that would be a good fit for rent by the room?

Purchase price: $770,000 Cash invested: $80,000 I own a two-family home in Westchester, NY, that’s a solid rental property.

If you have owned it over 6 months, then you can cash-out refinance at 75% of the appraised value.

Just make sure that the new property can cover the HELOC payments as well as its own mortgage.

But I'll mind my own business now. 

That’s how I found a bookkeeper that came in at month’s end for a few hours when I owned some computer stores.
