Next year will be even better with improvement that are constantly getting made as this is not a set it and forget it business. 

But I'm guessing maybe your credit is too low for that?  

Leveraging a HELOC (home equity line of credit) could allow you to invest in multifamily without completely draining your savings.

We consider background checks and credit checks only good for 60 days. 

Most folks overestimate the cost to prepare a space for MTR, but you'll figure out cost-savings and improvements with every iteration.

They wanted $1.2M to payoff  maturing HML on a $2.5M property. their credit was 580 and we told them we would not give you a loan but we would buy the property from you for $1.2M, provide you with a 12 month lease with an option to buy. in 12 months you either buy it or its ours. 

•Exterior: Landscaping improvements, including tree trimming and shrub removal.

I find that cash flow is very important so that I don’t have to come “out of pocket” to pay for major improvements / repairs  

Id go right into looking at local credit unions and small community banks for HELOCs (lines of credit) so you can have a lower blended rate and draw/payback as you please.For the 3F - Since this is free and clear, you would only be looking at 1st position options here in the world of financing.

Have about 50k I would invest (access to more), with excellent credit and good income too, from my full time job.
