Dylan Fraembs New Investor in Providence – Looking to Connect and Learn from Local Experts
31 January 2025 | 5 replies
If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

Quote from @Henry Clark: Quote from @Jake Andronico: Quote from @Arn Cenedella: @Jake AndronicoI’ve looked into them but have never executed one.Let me say they will be expensive and complicated.I think what you will find if one is trying to defer $50,000 to $100,000 in gain, it’s not going to be worth the time and trouble.On the other hand, if client is trying to defer gain of $500,000 to $1,000,000, it’s worth the time and trouble.I use First American Exchange for my own account a dozen times and they have been right on the money.Google them and reach out.ArnIt's definitely more expensive than a traditional 1031 exchange, but being able to secure properties upfront can be super convenient.   
Mary Jay How to get HELOC/ or other type of loan on a rental?
21 January 2025 | 6 replies
Quote from @Mary Jay: Quote from @Jay Hurst: Quote from @Mary Jay: hi guys,so I have a lot of equity in one of my rentals but the interest rates are super low on it. so I dont want to do a cash out refinance on it because I dont want to lose the 3% interest rate on it.I want to get some cash out of it via Heloc or another vehicle,  so I could buy another rental, but its not my primary, so I cant get a HELOC on it from lots of banks....I think PenFed does helocs on rentals, but because I have more than 5 rentals, I dont qualify for their HELOC loan.IS there a bank that would give a HELOC/cash on a rental?
