Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

I say to look at these hard because these items can occur for a period of 12 months possibly without major issues of seeing large cracks or settling if a lot of water hasn't been present in large volumes.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

My husband was paying our bookkeeper $450/month to do our books (for a small number of properties!!)

For example do you have a great w2 and can you afford to cover costs of a major repair or 3 months of vacancy?

Hi @Brian KingWelcome to BP!

If you have extra cash at the end of the month, then do double up payments on the mortgages so the principle is reduced and this will increase your heloc room.

Bootstrap financing How did you add value to the deal?

So, you can do a land contract for 12 months, which should allow lender to credit you full value of the land vs the purchase price, but the loan will pay off the land contract, so the lender maintains first lien position.Can't help you with the rest of your question, but you should be able to search for "CPA" here on BP to find experts to reach out to.

There is the Experian Boost that adds monthly utility bills as credit and various apps and facebook groups.
