Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

It has been really educational for me because we have people from all over the US with all types of experience to learn from.

We would love to learn more about them.

Here's what I learned, and what I regretted: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/922/topics/1133476-hous...

Lessons learned?

My quick tips: focus on strong communication, stay organized, and learn the local landlord-tenant laws inside and out.

Looking forward to learning, networking, and growing together.
