Max helped me buy a condo in Little Italy that has insane cash flow because of this new license. 🙏🏼 

Since you prioritize appreciation over cash flow, focus on DFW areas with strong job growth, infrastructure investment, and limited housing supply—such as Frisco, Arlington, and Rockwall.

Buying a second home to rent out is a solid strategy, but be sure you understand the cash flow, including mortgage, taxes, and potential vacancies.

Purchase price: $125,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Sale price: $250,000 Wish I could have held onto it but needed the money to fund future deals What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Easy Street is a good option BUT you need CASH in liquid checking/savings for down payment of 20% and BIG chunk 2-3 times loan amount to buy out of a prepayment penalty.

Purchase price: $255,000 Cash invested: $51,000 Second property, bought soon after the first multi-family.

And not only that, my cash flow on my new properties was low or sometimes zero.

Possibly using mortgage/home equity loan on one unit we own to buy an extra one.3.

@Jordyn Ohs Assuming your heloc is re-advanceable and the rate is higher than your mortgage, I would suggest you pay your HELOC down as quickly as possible with any cash flow from the properties.

Using a HELOC to fund your first rental can be a great strategy, especially if you want to preserve your cash for other expenses or unexpected costs.
