Why are you running so close to the edge?

I know you are probably bummed about this and feel like you made a mistake, but if you can figure out how to hold this property and buy more properties and hold them then you will end up making significantly more money in the long run; you don't build a real estate portfolio by selling.

I think that if you’re in a real estate service business for the long run and want sustainability of your business you’ve got to develop a source of funneling your own leads and not rely on purchasing leads.  

Good morning, my wife and I have been running  transitional homes for men and women 18+ who struggle with chemical/mental health issues going on roughly 5 years. 

I guess I was trying to run faster than my brain.

I think it is easier to find a deal if you are house hacking since your deal doesn't need to be a home run; it just needs to be better then the alternative (paying rent).

You don't want a call from a guest that a toilet is running and you have to pay a plumber to repair just that. 

I do this because I feel I can over the long run attract and KEEP better tenants LONGER.

These factors can play a huge role in making a property profitable in the long run.

yes, you can tap it, but at a high interest rate. that just puts more pressure on whatever you're investing in to be a home run and beat the rate you borrowed at.
