Actually would like to build one unit and expand to total of 8 duplexes (16 rentals) in a single compound over a period of 5 years.  

If you find a property with a 5% cap rate, and you assume 4% appreciation on the asset (averaged over time), and you borrow 75% of the purchase price at an 8% rate (I'm using that to show it can still make sense), your compounding annualized rate of return is closer to 11% over the next 5 years.And if it appreciates at an average of 5% over the next 5 years, your annualized return jumps to 14% (the loan causes this anomaly where additional appreciation of just 1% will have that effect, which is why it is aptly called leverage).What's even more outrageous is that your tax-equivalent rate of return is going to be another few percentages higher (depending on your circumstances) because real estate is generally a very tax-friendly investment.Of course, you won't hear this from most financial advisors.

Most likely a HELOC will be easier and the simple interest on it vs the compound interest in a traditional mortgage its much better.

I was just smart enough to buy a lot of real estate in early 2020 and was able to get a ton of appreciation and strong rents.Looking back at this situation I have relaxed a little bit and have come to realize: #1 Nobody can time the makert#2 Even some of the worst purchases with time can start looking good#3 Real Estate with Leverage over time is the ultimate compounding that you cannot find anywhere.Another consideration is the many ways to make money on a property: Rent, Depreciation, Debt Paydown, and Appreciation.I never thought that debt paydown would be such a large number so don't discount these four ways to make money.

The only reason she has tenants now is because the rent is around 200-250 per month compounded with a 40% vacancy rate there is no way she can pay most of the expenses.

I have done a flip in Bow and now a development in Hampton beach.

Instead, the income can be put back into the DST and compounded and then invested in Stock, Bonds, Mutual Funds.

If the home is over 1975 old expect 100% asbestos in drywall compound, floor material, stucco, attic insulation.

Eventually multiple camera scopes revealed pipe had settle and was bowing down.  

I think the late payment penalty is 0.5%, and the interest on the amount due is some 8% compounded daily or something.
