I have king beds in all properties with the same linens, templated messages are sent out automatically, cleaning is handled by someone else, etc. 2. invest the money upfront to get nice things/ extra amenities.

@James LeeHey James!

@James McCreary do your commercial lenders require seasoning?

Cash is king, but you ought to ask how fast you can grow after liquidating the primary residence and whether that rate of growth beats realizing that profit through taking a new loan out on the property as seen in item #2.

@James GallaHi James,Thanks for responding to my post.

Yes I concur with James' recommendation to invest in a multiplex. 

Originally posted by @James Galla:Generally, it's not worth even making an offer until they are desperate, meaning foreclosure is imminent and the property owner does not have the funds to redeem the property by paying off the tax debt.

Now with time and rent growth, what could be a negative cash flow property might very well become a cash flow king, but that takes patience.Another way to increase cash flow would be renting out rooms in the unit you live in, either Airbnb or longer term.Something that would be advantageous for you to do would be to go talk to a loan officer and ask them questions; it's free to do.

Thanks James.
