I actually would have incurred a net loss on my cash-flow by reducing my LTV to 70%.I have a higher basis in the event that I want to 1031( I am using the assumption that I only operate one llc for the example of a 1031 exchange.( I don't want to delve into this too much but in order to meet 1031 requirement, this is why I use a single purpose llc for every acquisition, gives me hundreds of options to 1031, most of which have nothing to do with Real Property).

I am using my heloc now for down and rehab $ on a house... 

I am using a buyers agent.

I am 38, a father of 4, have no real assets to use to buy a house to flip.I am using a HML.

I use a land trust when I am using a cash partner, mainly because it describes a partnership, provides some anonymity and protection to the investor.

John the reason I am using the HML is because the property in question was a 7 units but it need to reconvert to a 4 units.

One method I am using is looking in the financial newspaper where they publish the names and addresses of "foreclosures".

I find this post very amusing.
