I house hacked then rented it out after a year.

Hey Bigger Pockets, I’ve decided to get out of my analysis paralysis and actually jump into real estate investing- focusing initially on wholesaling.

PS I’m all for buying real estate , but we know that having a  job can be a blessing for many people starting out. 

Some people will do this with one building, then after a year go out and repeat the process with another property.

Quote from @Fernando Martin-Gullans: Hey y’all, I’m a retail investor with 2 SFH rentals worth a combined ~$650k looking to utilize some of my stored equity to buy more out-of-state properties, but I’m not quite sure how best to proceed given that my interest rates are incredibly low (leaning me away from refinancing) and neither property is owner-occupied (which I believe prevents me from using a HELOC).

@Emily Gowen so as you pointed out you would not have to do a 1031 exchange on your current home to avoid the capital gains tax and coupled with what Dave Foster pointed out I think, speaking from experience you would have a high likelihood of success. 

Or if you need to hire a kid to stand out in front of their office warning their clients that they’re losing tax forms and not telling people. 

Multiple offer situations, appraisal gap scenarios and even waved inspections.For my fellow Realtors and investors out there... how are you all doing and how's your markets temperature?  

This 1 bed 1 bath condo is rented out 162 nights a year and covers all the costs of running the unit and debt services.

Each one will be using their droves of attorneys to find a way out of any liability, and instead trying to put the other insurance company on the hook.
