But i was able to achieve the elusive infinite return on a majority of my RE and all of my investment RE that I purchased prior to 2020.Infinite return has the benefit that the finances are not the hindrance to scale.  

Many real estate investors opt for a fix-and-flip loan because they’re relatively easy to obtain: no personal income verification (no DTI requirements), and you can often borrow up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs.

Both properties have a substantial amount of equity that’s essentially sitting idle.Would it be a good idea to tap into this equity (through a HELOC, cash-out refinance, etc.) to fund future fix-and-flip projects or purchase additional rental properties?

Purchase Price:Focus on areas where the rental rates align well with your purchase price.

I'm looking to start with purchasing a home under $300k and taking it from there. 

Once I reached that goal, the drive for the next one felt just as strong.Reminder to enjoy the journey and that it’s not about the destination.Every goal you reach, you will enjoy it for a short time, then be on to the next one.How do you balance striving to do better and for more while understanding that it will never be enough?

I also am a member of the International Real Estate Federation, and can connect you with agents who are able to help with your purchase.  

For path #2, you mean purchase & renovate a 3-5 unit building right?

I formed Park Place Communities in 2014, and we started purchasing communities in early 2015.

The last time I represented a mobile home park purchaser, county health department allowed four MHs per septic tank.
