If you were able to pull out $500,000 in existing equity out of a paid off rental and disperse those funds to acquire 2, 4-unit MFR properties and had the income to support any future CapEx and the interest payments on your HELOC ( including the extra income to paydown the loan ) would there be any " gaps " or problems I'm missing in this situation where it would be a bad enough idea to not go through with acquiring more properties through a HELOC on 1 of 5 properties you own?

I've watched some videos from BP but i'd like some recommended reading to educate myself in preparation and so i can start going to open houses and actually having an idea of what i'm looking at.3. i'm thinking about changing careers to either electrician or plumbing to get skills that may help me manage my properties or do house flips and value adds to my properties.

I just finished Brandon Turner’s Investing in Real Estate With No Money Down and learned a ton, so I’m open to creative financing ideas too!

I have a contract on mixed zone property on 355 Fredrick road, Clarksburg. I am debating about the converting the existing old gutted building to either multifamily building (6 units each around 500 sqft small studio)...

Finding a place within 5-10 minutes of Barnes, STLCOP, Wash U, etc seems to be a great idea.

You'll probably need to look at a few to get a general idea of what a room would rent for in your area.

It’s a good idea to review local real estate development compensation norms or even consult with a lawyer to ensure the deal is fair.In your uncle’s case, the terms seem fairly favorable to the engineer if he is only handling the development and not contributing any capital.

Quote from @Nabby Boat: I would like to start investing into real estate any ideas 1.

Buyer would go steal from other houses to fix this one.. they never bought the house .. the idea for these guys is they would get enough on the down payment to at least get their cash back..
