I used to be an engineer before going full time in real estate a few years ago and those two STRs net me more than my salary was!

However, if you have a more extensive portfolio or plan to become larger in the next year or two, I would look for a double-entry system that allows bank reconciliations.

It would take around 5 years to pay off the HELOC by using some of the monthly rental income from two investment properties.

Builder tore down the single family and built two single families on the lot.

I just talked to two banks and they both said that they don't offer them for investment properties.

I'd hate for a temporary dip in the quality of the tenant pool to be giving my landlord "spidey sense" false alarms on account of taking an extra month or two to fill a unit.

We have one or two quality wholesalers that we are open to working with.

They take two years to build these and then factor in the new market pricing to essentially ride the appreciation wave.

My father did this in Portland on two properties, for elderly people I think. 

They have equity in a property or two and are hesitant to deploy it.Other investors I have worked with have found if they deploy this equity into a newer property as 25% down payment, they are able to find deals that work very well.
