Hello,I am a Software Engineer and a Real Estate Investor working on a tech product for the real estate mortgage brokers.

So the choice of tenant would be key.On the flip side, reasons to hold: a very low mortgage rate; probably not the case. 

That will get you looking at cash flow and end up in a lower rated area than you think.

I would say for most people, the 1st position heloc is no a good bet, especially if you have a 1st mortgage rate of less than 5%.Using this strategy with a 2nd position heloc can be just as powerful, so you can have your cake and eat it too!

Looking for a house we could house hack, had an incredibly low interest rate on mortgage and house has increased in value about 42%, an estimated 180k in equity.

With a low 4.75% rate but minimal cash flow ($50–$125/month), your equity could likely work harder elsewhere.

Hello,I am newly looking into sheriff sales, specifically on the mortgage foreclosure side.

Quote from @Dinesh Nair: I am a Canadian investor with a US corporate entity- we closed on our first property and now working to find financing through a lender… however rates keep changing all the time.. is there a site to track rates ? 

My suggestion is to find some real estate industry surveys (via CBRE or others) and look for the MF cap rates in various cities/states/regions.

Hi Aubrey,International lenders don't exist for real estate in that no lender in one country will give you a mortgage loan in another country.A good service to estimate revenue in Costa Rica or everywhere in the world for that matter is Aidna.
