Looking for some basic strategies and success/failure stories.

While there are paid plans with more features, the free version is useful for basic analysis and getting a good overview of a property's potential.3.

Couple of things I looked out for:- Area, make sure it's somewhere that will have stable demand- I stayed away from homes that had a lot of renovations that were needed- During the tour see if you can spot basic issues like if wiring is old or how new is the HVAC system, etc. - If you decide to keep the tenants that are already there see how well they keep the place

If you do qualify you would basically be refinancing your current Heloc and use the new Heloc to pay it off the original Heloc.

We have not done anything on the land yet because its very far from all our primary residences and does not have basic things like a well paved road and a water source.

Yes, they use basically self showings.

Hey Harrison,I have almost two months or so in this real estate wholesaling journey (which basically makes me a rookie as well) and also graduated from college back in April from computer science, but I can tell you that this industry is much more appealing due to its potential.

Food in fridge is from April this year and it basically looks like someone was half way through moving out and then something happened and so a bunch of stuff is still in house. specifically one room filled with about 10 burner phones, 3 tvs, personal clothes, mail, kids personal items and bunch of random stuff new with tags, etc etc. he also had pets which was against lease term. one of the rooms was used as a pet room completely destroying carpet and staining walls with urine etc. 

A lender would have to be a fool to lend on collateral that wasn't protected - if the house is lost in a fire or whatever, the loan is unsecured at that point and is basically credit card debt. 

With lower rates (mid 5s) I am expecting prices to jump again in spring, as they have done basically every year for the last 15.
