What type of properties are you looking to add to your portfolio?

I would recommend considering conventional financing until you reach Fannie Mae's limit of 10 properties, then consider either a portfolio loan, and start your race to 10 again, or look at DSCR at that time. 

Quote from @Peter Sosnow: @Greg P.Im not a coach, but I built a portfolio of mostly small MF and would be pleased to connect and discuss.  

That is an upfront game plan with numbers that should be somewhat fail proof if done correctly.Lastly dont forget that 85% of people who take out a HELOC end up doing a refinance within 3 years to consolidate into one loan. 

If I used the HELOC, the investment needs to generate >9%.I recognize there are many variables not listed here but would love to hear from more experienced investors on more generally how you think about using cash vs. home equity to grow your portfolio in the current environment. 

I view it as a tool in a toolbox to help you "trim the fat" off the bottom of your portfolio, so you can keep growing with new acquisitions. 

Hello BP's:We're looking to start building our real estate portfolio, right now analyzing different market to find the right one for us.We were wondering if anybody has experience in Sherman, TX market?

@Edward Toomey V I feel like this is a frustration for us all in the property management game.

I currently work with investors building and diversifying their portfolios with Single-family homes over the midsouth/midwest, and I would love to connect with you and share some insight on the turn-key world and swap investing goals.
