Leverage Equity WiselyTapping your home equity via a HELOC or cash-out refinance can accelerate your multi-family investments, but you must factor in the debt service to ensure it doesn't kill your cash flow.

We are partially owned as of 2022 by Sumitomom Forestry, which means we have no bank debt and self fund all our building projects. 

Thanks for the response Tyler, only issue is, financing is provided based on the deal, and this is where I'm stuck. when you say have the financing ready to jump on any good deal, I hear you and agree with you, but like I said, debt or equity investors would want to see the deal first before signing any agreements.

Or are you the flipper that will be taking on debt to fund your flip?

DCSR loan qualifications are based off teh property's income, not yours personally.There are lenders out there who will provide short term 'bridge' debt to rehab prior to cash flow. 

If you have maturing debt on the property or need to deploy this cash elsewhere, I would try and see it through with your current lender & work toward a solution.

@Nikhil MascarenhasHow much debt on personal assets? 

@William CoetGPs are signing on the debt, finding, managing and running day to day.

I don't want to put myself in debt this first go around!

Hi Art, when buying real estate in a Self Directed IRA it's typically recommended the property is paid in cash and holds no debt.
