Without knowing your life fully, I say house hack, and divert the rent you used to pay towards your student loans.

Some have chosen to divert from the point he was attempting to make in order to respond with self-righteous statements of grandeur and non-judgement of others.FYI- proclaiming yourself above the use of a word instead of just responding to the question isn't just self-righteous, its also very telling.There is a difference between people being firm in their beliefs and self-righteous, there is nothing wrong with being firm and confident...but if you really are then you don't need the "Shut up and listen to me" attitude that turns if from one to the other.I have found VERY FEW who are arrogant and stubborn are also successful and if they are telling you flat out thats how they are with their attitude on display, you should thank them for not wasting your time.

We have enough in our partnership to keep recycling the money by doing BRRRR's. 

Moving forward I will implement the BRRRR strategy to get up to 10 properties, recycling as much capital as possible.

NorCal voters are never excited to divert more of the water found up here to SoCal.  

I like using HELOCs since you're essentially recycling money that's tied up in the house doing nothing otherwise.  

Your time frame to recycle the full 50K investment is doable.  

For example, in our jurisdiction landlords must establish and pay for garbage/recycling service for multifamily properties, but can require tenants of SFRs to put that service in their own name. 

Like the plumber needed a tile bit to change a shower diverter.

My options are leveling the ground, creating a french drain or probably something to divert the water.
