I’m looking to expand my portfolio more quickly and am particularly interested in trying seller financing as a strategy.

Buying in your backyard eliminates so much for you.What strategy do want to follow?   

Does this strategy utilizing HELOC really work on saving money and paying off mortgages much quicker?  

And finding a home that needs a good renovation and mixing it with these other strategies really helps.As far as areas go, easier to cashflow on the outer suburbs of Raleigh and on the Durham side of the triangle.

From a buy to rent perspective, in Dubai is that a good strategy.

With $50k, you likely have enough to get started, especially if you target lower-cost markets or use a strategy like house hacking.

Ditto on Start with Strategy!

My interests lie in all areas of real estate, and I am eager to explore potential opportunities and gain insights into effective strategies.

My strategy would then be to lease at least two of the renovated units, increasing occupancy to 90%, which could improve the chances of securing favorable terms for refinancing.I haven't pitched it to the seller yet.

Leveraging seller financing creatively, with strategies like stepdown interest rates or unique amortization schedules, could be the key to bridging the gap until the property reaches its full income potential.
