That typically results in a higher payment and an open end mortgage (Credit card) versus cash in the bank that can act as an Asset and PITI reserves where a Heloc cannot.Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, I enjoy helping and talking REI.

I have worked in recovery, but currently am retired and have rentals I would like to possibly rent to Oxford house- or possibly convert into sober living if it makes sense financially.

I am wanting to start real estate investing to become financially free in the future.

What Im looking for with REI.... is to find financial freedom, to build generational wealth, to bring my family together; my brothers,  my children, and their children into a business Im not only passionate about, but proud of.  

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.

Where are you investing, what asset class, how much do you have to invest.
