Always end with a question.

Good question!

But I knew and had worked with a couple of hard money lenders often enough as well to know that they’d fund any purchase in the range I was looking to buy in without issue if my private lenders didn’t have the capital or weren’t interested.So to answer your question I already had several lenders in place that I had worked with previously. 

What are your questions? 

Back to your question on maximizing rent: In general, the better the neighborhood the higher possible rent.

Question- do I keep the heloc I have and just pay it down or do I get a heloc on the rental property to pay off current heloc and go forward with another property? 

When faced with scenarios like this, it's tough to answer such a specific question with limited information. 

Feel free to reach out with any accounting questions.

In answer to your question- Yes, I hope to buy and hold here and flip when possible.

Please reach out if you have any questions and have a great day!
