Exploring a combination of these strategies, such as using a HELOC for a down payment and securing a DSCR loan for the remainder, could help you achieve your goal of purchasing additional properties this year.

I recently read in a book that suggested I should open a dual checking and savings account, and take the security deposits from my future tenants and store them in the savings account, then use the checking to pay the mortgage or maintenance fees.

Hello All,I just secured a 0.4-acre lot with a burnt house on it in the Bakersfield, CA area.

Split them prior to obtaining the financing and just don't include those lots as security in the note.

Financing: Secure financing for both land acquisition and construction.

Just yesterday I had the same conversation with Jessica LaRusso at Seek Capital and they also offered me lines of credit through un-secured credit cards, offering 0% interest for 12-18 months. 

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

We have two strs both rented carts but the security in our area will remove your ability to have a cart for 5 years if you get two tickets.the liability isnt much of anything - we use progressive or State farm.

Starting with cash is a great strategy, but I would still consider using leverage to stay liquid for emergencies, which provides financial security.
