Do you have experience and know the cycles of your market so you know the best price?

Which options do you guys think are best when you have no money to put down on a house for flipping?

Appreciate any guidance.Best regards  My recommendation is ot search the forum posts here on SDIRA and lenders as there are very few lenders and you can google and look up here on BP the terms that they provide. 

Real estate can be scary to jump into but VERY rewarding! 

It has been best to anticipate wildly different ARVs based on not only the property details, but also the quality of the finishes that are used.

Plus, as you mentioned, you could always tap into the equity later on to continue expanding.At the end of the day, it’s about what fits best with your goals.

Definitely a very expensive lesson learned, need recommendations for a reasonable priced, good contractor please?

You have used home equity lines of credit to purchase investment rentals and want to know the best way to pay down the HELOCs.Between the two properties you bought, after expenses, you have $250 a month positive cashflow to use.What I like to do is pay down some principal every month with my positive cashflow.I use my extra active income from real estate commissions helping other investors to pay down the principal even more which just frees up that credit for me to use again.I know I can refinance the HELOC debt before it changes to principal and interest as it is just interest only payments as yours are.One difference is the cashflow, I have greater positive cashflow and could make the principal and interest payment in the future with the extra cashflow I already enjoy.I always get HELOCs on my income properties as well after purchasing them to pull out as much of my downpayment as possible.

But, since you seem to be implying very specific things, but without being specific.
