The last house I purchased was $227,500 and we put down $85K. 

I'm a fan of using the HELOC to help purchase new property.

I recently came across a website called RentToRetirement.com, which helps buyers purchase turnkey investment properties out of state.I was wondering if anyone here has used this site to buy a property.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Jerry NoguerasRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I enjoy interacting with other investors and helping people do better, not measure the quality of questions.

Hi Delroy,Congrats on your 2-flat purchase—exciting times ahead!

I have purchased an off-market property from an investor who now wants to sell the rest of his portfolio.

I've purchased about 10 properties for myself and have always use my own broker.

California landlords can now enjoy streamlined maintenance and cost savings thanks to AB 2622.Signed into law in September 2024, AB 2622 raises the threshold for unlicensed contracting work from $500 to $1,000.

I started with a house hack then purchased my own rentals/BRRRRs and now I own a successful 7-figure rental portfolio.
