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

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

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.  

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

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

We purchased 133.7 acres January 20th of 2024, we then proceeded to subdivide 4 building lots, ( two 10 acre lots,  and two 2 acre lots)  which included costs associated with septic testing,  survey & subdivision, and property maintenence required to market the building lots.

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?

Quote from @Eli Kim: So I  currently have 3 properties and I want to purchase another one but the issue is I’ve maxed out DTI.
