On one hand it was too easy, I could just keep buying more and accruing more (to an extent).

You have my curiosity piqued. 

@Steve EnochsThose areas have been a curiosity for My Wife and I for a while now.

I have recently begun flipping this year and am interested in expanding to the Jacksonville market.Out of curiosity, was refinancing a challenge in any way due to the seller financing?

just out of curiosity, what did you end up using for financing with this property?

One aggressive tactic is to use 0% interest credit cards.. just pay them off before the offfer expires.Out of curiosity... how close are you with your parents?

However, for curiosity, I've been applying it to houses in my home city of Regina, Saskatchewan (Canada), as well as to some farmland properties.My first question is: is anyone aware of any markets where there are good investment opportunities that are meeting the 1% to 2% rule?

For me personally and a lot of the people I've talked to, HELOC is the better route because if you don't borrow from the HELOC, it doesn't cost you anything and is super flexible and interest only accrues on what you borrow.

Which means that regardless of what the market does, she continues to get the mortgage paid and positive cashflow to cover the accrued debts.

Once you generate some curiosity, people will ask more about what you do.
