It takes longer to realize, but the gain is worth so much more than a couple hundred dollars of cash flow a month.

Like Jonathan said, in-person meetings with other investors is the best place.

So rather than just market suddenly for 60 days when a property opens up, you're developing your personal brand all the time.

Maytag and Whirlpool are good imo.I personally also avoid ice makers and water dispensers.

Based upon the cost seg studies of my clients, a building will typically yield 25-30% of the total cost that can be segregated into personal property and land improvements.

Early on, I realized that real estate isn’t a solo business.

Personally, we would not do that deal.  

If you own cash, then you will probably have to get a loan to buy out the other person (most people don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around to buy someone out). 

I mean the person whose name its in likely did that themselves!

Personally, I wouldn't use a heloc to then go purchase a primary residence, unless what you can rent the current SFH for enough to cover the current mortgage (assuming there is one on the property) and the heloc payments.
