@Kevin Michel I'd work backwards from your skillset, amount of capital you have (or can raise), and the market you're interested in. 

@Quinlan Moran I was actually corn and raised in Waco.

I’m just joking around mate hehe  I figured as much but I think I may just not be sufficiently accustomed to Aussie humor lol True that mate, I forgot to apologize for my sense of humor haha 🙏We have weird and dirty jokes lol No need to apologize, just understand us who were born and raised in 'Merica might have no idea what you're talking about.  

I just sat through a lengthy pitch presentation for Pace's gator method which I left with raised eyebrows and concerns about Bigger Pockets putting their stamp of approval on Pace's brand.

But if you later apply to another loan and you have, say, a $0 balance on your heloc, they might look at it similarly to having balance on a credit card, which doesn't really add to your DTI.  

They seem to look at it as the balance you have on a credit card - it doesn't increase debt if you're not using the funds.  

So for example a typical unit in NYC that might rent for $3000 a month, could be rent stabilized at $800-$1000 (whatever it’s currently at) and the landlord cannot raise the rents above whatever the small % increase is.

Kris will raise other people up with him as he grows.He will often invite people to pay for a course or attend a conference, but I am not opposed to this.

I've read (all my knowledge is theoretical) that tenants on government assistance can be really rough on properties (I also see that as painting with a broad brush) but the government assistance side of that is pretty stable income, and it doesn't seem terribly difficult to raise rent either, just requires 60-days notice instead of 30. 

You may want to try hiring a local handyman that you can email jobs to do and speak with 1-2 times weekly, meet 1-2 times monthly.Most will put on a good show for a few months then either get lazy and cut corners or start raising prices.
