- Our goal: Learn the ropes and eventually build a portfolio.Looking to connect:- Are you a non-US citizen/ non-green card holder investing in the US?

I am just being more careful on the price because I know it will take five months so I want it to be worthwhile if I am going to do something like that.

Alternatively, my BIL has "invested" in baseball cards.  

And i have no credit card debt.

Markets stay flat for five years and you've been bleeding cash then what?

Now of course there are still deals to be had out there, I am not saying that, but its a lot harder to find those deals today than five years ago when everything was a deal due to low interest rates.We are always buying but this is my business, so we have a team etc. to manage it.

Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.

You want this to be your backup plan if things take longer than anticipated, you do not want to dip into personal credit cards so i would use a heloc to help with down payment but try to keep a nice available balance on a heloc as your insurance policy. 

We receive countless gifts and thank you cards from borrowers all over USA. 

I’ve bought some houses with 0% interest for a year credit cards and a few with consumer lines of credit from banks.
