The BEST method for real estate investing is very simple: increase earnings, reduce expenditures, save, and invest from your own funds.You should focus on increasing earnings and learning how to manage your budget.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I have no idea who that is hahaI have seen an increase in this (like everyone else) because Airbnb spoils guests. 

You’ll lose any property tax caps they may have enjoyed and be increased to the non-owner occupant tax. 

Cash-Out Refinance – Refinancing one of your properties to pull out $30,000 in cash can be an option, though it may extend your loan term or increase your interest rate. 3.

We liked the idea of partnership on a bigger project with the specific MTR strategy in order to increase NOI and exit in 3-5 years.

I would like Lawrence or areas that are starting to increase in value but not as high currently. 

My motivation is to increase my financial literacy and diversify into real estate.I have rented all my life and seek to become a homeowner/ investor to help my family and make their lives easier.

However, some amenities consistently deliver high value because they attract more bookings, increase nightly rates, or result in better guest reviews.

Assuming you go the HELOC route, another option to reduce your costs assuming you have decent credit is to look at credit card balance transfer promotions.Back in 2003-2004 I had HELOCs on my investment properties and interest rates were increasing.

So, I would work to increase your knowledge and experience and really identify a strategy that suits you before moving forward with anything. 2.
