I am looking to refinance in the near term either when rates drop to the 6.5% range into a conventional 30 year mortgage or as quickly as I am able into a first lien HELOC to be able to park paychecks into the mortgage and save a significant amount on interest or so it seems.

You can also do a Google search to get a ton of resources.

Outside of West Oakland, what areas would you say are likely to go up in value over time - what pockets/neighborhoods are you looking at?

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

- My first thought is offering cash, but the home owner would most likely just let it go to foreclosure because of how low the offer would be. - My second thought is offering some cash and taking over the loan - there are no liens on the property yet.

Additionally zoning restrictions are going to all but eliminate most every plot of land in the Cleveland area. 

How do I use that one property to acquire a second and how do I go from 2-3 and 3-4? 

It was the boost I needed to grow fast.To get started, I partnered with experienced equity raisers.

I just was never a good employee and needed to do my own thing. 

Property needed some TLC as it had some termite damage and active infestation at time of move in, got quotes from contractors to replace some studs but all quotes came in too high so ended up doing most of the work on the home myself which meant the home sat vacant until January 2025 at which point i placed on rental sites but still waiting for vacancy to be filled.
