Like Brandon has said on the podcast, if you give a mouse a cookie the next thing you know they are going to ask for a glass of milk, and then the next thing you know you’re doing everything for your tenant.

@Elliott Holdosh - that 187k is tied to the property but you have now recycled all your original capital you had in the deal. 

I would recommend going with the value add strategy so that you can continuously recycle your money and create equity, that's what I've been doing because I have a finite amount of money for REI.

I have managed to recycle that same $50k along the way into 5 successful BRRRR’s and am now currently working on my first flip.

Wanted to do a BRRRR as my first deal to recycle seed capital and keep momentum.

Pedro, I have to agree with @Bill O'DonnellSpecifically responding to your concern of tying up your capital while house hacking; while you would be putting that money down initially there is no reason in the future you could not make use of it and recycle those dollars into another property.

From investing in / showcasing murals to repurposing recycled materials from a demo to build out community gardens, there are ways to promote goodwill and neighborly respect during rehabs and that's something I'd like to see more of. 

I say hold on to that milk cow

They're cheap and you can probably recycle the operating agreement.

Also you want to be sure there’s a way to refinance the property in the near future to recycle that LOC since it’s supposed to be short-term debt.
