I started my career as a commercial banker a long time ago, but have been an independent mortgage broker for nearly a decade.

I was a college athlete whenever I learned about BiggerPockets and really started my investing career.

He stated that his GF Rachel has her own corporate job earning six figures.

To Sum it up, its a good idea if you can exceed the cost of capital (higher rate than your cost of debt) with what you earn on your heloc/debt you pull out and invest.The question is how much gains above is enough to substantiate the risk of your variable interest rate, well thats up to your personal investing criteria.

Earned or not, there is a certain credibility standing at the front of the room and club owners get to stand in the middle of deal flow.

After spending 25 years as a Software Engineering and Product leader, I’m now exploring the world of real estate investing (REI) and looking forward to learning from all of you.My goal is to leverage my current investments and savings to build a real estate portfolio that will eventually allow me to transition away from my current career.

But if I put the money into buying a house, with the leverage of a mortgage loan, I can still earn about 11% annually on my investment on the appreciation, even though there is no cash received for the rent.

It's early, but it looks like we'll earn around a 8-9% ROI.

Early in my investing career I wanted to cost seg my properties, but my accountant told me I was wasting my time because I was unable to use the full depreciation benefits I already had.  

does not seem to be career advancing..
