If you expect to create significant wealth via RE passively in 7 years, it is my belief that it is unlikely in the current high rate, high priced, highly competitive market. 

I did this with every course I've ever bought and religiously listened to self help tapes for the first ten years of my business, starting with Carleton sheets and moving through every guru that sold stuff concerning real estate. ( I spend ALOT of time behind the wheel in my job. )   Except for Carleton Sheets course...I've bought every course used off of ebay and probably only spent a few thousand dollars total on what has to be every guru and course available.

I like all of these strategies, I just don't want to wait because I have a personal belief that when rates drop, when and if they do there will be another run-on Real Estate pushing prices way up.

When the four words in my title here are used, typically you can expect to hear some nostalgic idiot go on about his many cognitive dysfunctions about how wonderful the past was and how hard and miserable times today are.This is not one of those times.What I'd like to ask in this discussion is: what limiting beliefs did you have to eject along the way of your investing journey in order to succeed?

This locks in your monthly expenses, versus  HELOC that is variable, and matches well to the long term hold of the rental.I use HELOCs for shorter term capital needs, i.e. flips, or even possibly the acquisition and renovation of a rental, but always with the belief that I will have it paid off in under a year, typically 6 months.  

It is a long held belief in investing that you  "Marry the property and Date the rate".  

Contrary to popular belief, yes good operators do market and spend money on marketing because there is so many bad offerings out there they still need to be noticed. 

Hobby landlords will generally be reluctant (embarrassed) to raise rent and will normally keep rent below market with the false belief that it retains tenants saving turn over costs.
