I'm planning to turn it into a rental and was wondering if I should consider hiring a property manager for my first rental.

What happens if you lose on it, you now have an additional liability, not just a loss of money.Are you planning on keeping the current property or exchanging it (1031) into something else?

Would you help is wedding coordinating/planning or just rent the space out?

The plan was to have the properties completed in 6 months make some money and be on our way to real estate riches.Turns out a lot of the framing was rotten and we had to completely reframe the back of one of the houses.

Just keep in mind that using that emergency fund to buy your next property and having tapped a HELOC already may leave you in a bad spot if you run into a similar problem again.Also, I’m not 100% sure, but I have heard that personal loans don’t your credit more so than other types of debt so be sure you look into that if you go the personal loans route and then planned to finance your next purchase soon after.

Quote from @Celine Besson: Hi everyone,We recently moved from Memphis, TN, to Montreal, Quebec.Before leaving, we planned to invest in a small house, renovate it, and rent it out (Ultimate goal would be to BRRRR).

You haven't told us anything about what you plan to do after purchasing the property, so it's not clear how important interest rate is in the long run.
