But with gambling being so accessible, people are throwing away home down payments without even realizing it.💡 Are you seeing this trend in your network?

There's so much good info here.

@Haneef PorterRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in.Why is Property Class so important for investors to understand and apply in their investing strategies?

I used a heloc to purchase the first 4 rentals, so $155k of dept is wrapped up In  that until I refinance each property which have already appreciated extremely quickly given the current market. 

I feel that I am one refi away from doing so but despite decent LTV's on the properties.

No problem, though—I can get close to $100K saved by the end of the year, so I’ll be in a much stronger position.My question is, is there a specific number I should be striving for that would put me in a good position to invest in real estate?

So many strategies available to you to start out with, a big part of it depends on if you are looking to be hands on or continuing to pursue other opportunities at the same time. 

Thank so much for sharing.

And would they be willing to do financing for you so you don't have to pay cash up front? 

Also, there is a penalty for refinancing out of the DSCR loan within so many years.
