I'm sure he did really well with the property - enough so that he could complain about the cost, yet pay it and stay in business- but, I wouldn't buy one unless you had serious reserves, just in case. 

There is no guarantee rates will go down and stay down and with a HELOC your rate is variable.

But it’s also a heads-up to stay sharp, keep an eye on those mortgage rates, and be ready to jump when the time feels right.

Happy to send those resources your way and/or chat about pros and cons of going out of state vs staying in your back yard.

And, is it ok to stay over my parents home during the weekday because of my job that's 3 miles away instead of being 40+miles away

You need to constantly analyze whether a deal is good to flip, or wholesale, or buy and hold, or stay away from from.

But on your job I need an extra man to stay with the trucks holding tools which I bill you for . 

I treat them great and keep the properties in great condition in the hopes they stay there forever.

I know who to stay away from as well. 

The post made June 3rd, which I apparently didn't see or it didn't register, stated that Core Capital was a scam and to stay away. 8 properties at $600 a shot is going to be a tough lesson for us, but thanks for the information folks.
