Hi im purchasing my first property and wanted to know how everyone accepts rent payments.id prefer a 3rd party collect (program) and depsot the money to me but wanted to know all options

Both of our properties have about 100k in equity in them so we were thinking about using getting a HELOC on the duplex rental property and use that money for the down payment on the next property.

I make a decent amount of money nearly from my W-2 (over 100k) but still not enough to easily buy another property this year especially if I have to put down 20%.

So that the wholesaler can make some money.

if you have no money to put down then you're not ready.here's what i would do instead:-save up enough until you have enough money to do a live-in flip-do a live-in fliphope that helps

You spend a lot of time and money having people do this work, and at the end of the day you don't net any more income compared to a long term rental.

I would focus more on where the day to day dollar comes in rather than the money from the property.

It is a complimentary strategy to pull some of your money back and hedge your bet. 

So many "investors" bury themselves in complex, expensive situations to protect themselves from some unknown threat to their non-existent business.Figure out if you have any shooting skills (or even enjoy the game) before spending money on $600 Nikes or an indoor basketball court. 

My realtor seems confident that I can get in with zero money down.
