My strategy is to use HELOC to cover down payment and convention loan to cover the rest of the mortgage.

What’s the best strategy to buy and finance?

What strategy are you considering: buying, managing for others, arbitrage, etc?

It's always a tough call on whether to just do a day trip or pay for a rental as the costs of a nice rental can add up quickly.The TL/DR (which I'll expand on) is that we ended up changing to a strategy of letting others help pay for a cabin that we know we'll love.

Whether it’s discussing investment strategies, flipping, or exploring collaboration opportunities, I’m excited to engage with you all!

My strategy has been to grow aggressively (by using as little of my own money as possible) to secure good assets, and once stabilized, then work to pay down loans to own them free and clear sooner rather than later. 

That said, I'm looking to BRRRR this upcoming year, but that's only because the first 3 properties allowed us to build up enough capital for this strategy to make sense. 

Sounds like we employ nearly identical strategies.

My wife and I would be happy to share our strategy!
