@Thomas Farrellmiscellaneous reactions-BRRRRs won't produce cash flow - they're an equity strategy, not a cash flow strategy-OOS BRRRR on your first deal will be incredibly difficult. 

Make no mistake, shifting a "big war chest" from liquid investments and cash into a cash flowing real estate portfolio is not a passive endeavor.

Purchase price: $532,500 Cash invested: $106,500 I just bought a duplex on 3rd Ave on the Columbus side of Grandview and am planning on living in one side and renting out the other.  

You’re in a solid position, but the challenge here is that your equity is tied up in a property that’s cash flow neutral—which means pulling cash out could push it into negative territory if you’re not careful.A HELOC is the most flexible option, even if you’re planning for long-term investments.

(Again, ask the bank.)These days I lean toward flips (which is unusual for me) but if the numbers show it cash flows all in with a 7% loan, then sure.

Have some diversity, C areas with low entry and high cash flow, the majority should be B areas with stable income, appreciation, tenants. 

Which yeilds a paid off house much faster.My views re investment debt:  In support of BRRRR I like debt!  

If you’re set on cash flow, you might have better luck looking out of state where your $30K goes further.

Are you cashing out the equity and using additional revenue streams to get the 2nd one?
