We've since paid off the HELOC, but realistically it wouldn't be smart to rinse-repeat these days as the borrowing market is obviously MUCH different than it was in early 2022 when we started down this road to begin with.

Obviously, he was in the right with the utilities and we refunded him everything he was owed (plus an additional 57 dollars for his inconvenience and to shut him up).  

First, obviously leverage is the MVP, but this isn't my first interneting, I know controversial titles get more attention.Second, I’m a recent convert to Pocketarianism.

It’s obvious the tenant is a total PITA and has zero desire to deal with all of your rules.

You know what the payment is so you can add that amount to the customizable expenses which would obviously skew your ROI and would not keep track of your pay down and that type of thing.

I have lived in Wisconsin and upstate New York in the past and have a decent amount of knowledge of those areas — but obviously need help.

In our 4-bedroom, we have one in every room because 1) the need for it in bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room is obvious and 2) living room / bedrooms, it's helpful (and easy) for people with allergies (kleenex), snacking in front of the tv, etc.

Do the math and the answer will probably be obvious. 

Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.

Obviously social media is another outlet, but what posts have you seen gain traction?
