@Travis Gutting Open a prop stream account, fund it with some skiptracing credits and go to work!

Hey @Brett RiemensniderThere are a TON of banks/credit unions that will offer as low as Prime on a heloc on your primary residence.

Additionally, a CPA can maximize child tax credits, rental property depreciation, and ensure compliance with reporting requirements for their 1099 income.

Once I get to a point that it is making enough per month that I feel comfortable taking money out of the business that would be when I get to the point that it is worth have a specialist assist me in all deductions, credits, and future items that will help me to transfer from a W2 to working for myself fully.

I suggest 8% for a great credit buyer and higher for one with poorer credit.

You need to have reserves in either cash or credit regardless of the situation. 20k can go away in a blink.

Current rate is 5.75 and credit scores are around 750.

I used a personal line of credit of $8k to invest.

Do you have a good credit score?  

My tenants had late payments, but they were eventually made whole—credit where credit is due.Another standout moment was in 2021 when a major winter storm hit the area.
