1 Checking and 1 savings account is all you need.

I don’t know if I should invest in the Jersey market and put maybe 20-50% down on something, make less cash flow and make more appreciation, or every two years or so maybe buy something fully cash (my own $) in the Midwest let’s say 5-10 units and make more cash flow with no debt as with the income I make I can just save and buy more, don’t necessarily need to leverage in some markets.

Thanks for sharing and saving me the time!

I have learned to color code (highlighter) and plan the month/year or week ahead. 

Purchase price: $532,500 Cash invested: $106,500 I just bought a duplex on 3rd Ave on the Columbus side of Grandview and am planning on living in one side and renting out the other.  

Save that down payment money you mentioned or go for a multi family at a higher price than the single but have rental income. 

We plan on doing this every 5 years once we gain equity back.

If you like help structuring this deal differently to give you more leverage, let me know, I've worked with new investors on game plans and seen others start with 90% LTV on their very first deal.

The whole house needs to be remodeled due to lots of wear and tear and being outdatedI am planning to use a HELOC on my current property for mostly all the repairs.

What was your initial plan?
