Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Hello,real estate investors,I have a question for those with experience pulling home equity to fund new investments.

I would love to hear from anyone with experience in this space whether you've done it yourself or know someone who has.

We’ve got the experience and empathy to help navigate even the trickiest situations. 

I made a few thousand less than expected but I figure that's just the cost of doing business sometimes.Based on my experience I wouldn't let the remote possibility that a homeowner might go into greed mode dissuade you from doing these deals.

Has anyone had good experience with Furnished Finder in your market or if in Houston even better?

From my experience, cities like Greenville, Columbia, Augusta, Huntsville, Chattanooga, and Jacksonville offer strong house-hacking opportunities with growing job markets, solid rental demand, and affordable multi-family options.

My experience in Massachusetts, where it took nearly a year to evict a non-paying tenant, has made me more selective about the locations I invest in.I am looking forward to learning and sharing insights with this community! 

My problem i is my market is super expensive if I stay in the nyc area and I don’t have the confidence since I don’t have any actual experience to invest out of state do you guys think paying off my mortgage would be more beneficial than looking for more rentals .

With your experience, you have a lot to share, and it’s great to have you here.

Traditional bank loans can be slow and have strict requirements, while hard money and private lending seem to offer more flexibility.For those who’ve secured funding before, what’s been your experience?
