Using a HELOC or home equity loan on your personal home could be a good option, especially if you can secure a low interest rate and manageable terms.

It was a big project in terms of the amount of work it needed, I just ran out of time with my lender going through the garbage with the contractor, finding a new one, and finishing taking the longest. other than that I would've let it sit on the market to get closer to what I actually wanted for the property.

This will have a 3/5/7 year balloon and terms get revised. 

@Tim Delaney is an investor in the Buffalo market and shares many of your views on its long term potential!

I've seen a situation two years ago where a new landlord had trouble evicting a tenant who was constantly late on payments because the tenant argued that the late payment terms in the lease had not been honored since the start of the lease and couldnt be suddenly enforced because of this. 

Instead of paying into someone else’s property, you could be using that allowance to finance your own real estate investment.In Germany, you have access to a stable market with long-term growth potential, and U.S. service members and government civilians have unique advantages here.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on strategies to achieve breakeven or positive cash flow in the long term.

I recently launched a short-term rental (STR) business in Gainesville, and I’d love to hear from other investors in the area.

I just want some outside eyes to help me understand if this deal is what I should expect to find as I build my portfolio.I plan to buy and hold long term.

I purchase my personal investments to maximize their equity and hold long term.
