A lot of stuff that we've locked up has been cash-flow positive day one. 

Here’s why this can be a great option:You can lock in a lower interest rate on the HELOC since it's based on a primary residence rather than an investment property.You keep your existing home, allowing it to appreciate while your tenants cover the mortgage.You now have two properties working for you—one generating rental income and another as your new primary or next investment.For analyzing rental cash flow, some key numbers to look at include:Expected Rent – Research what similar properties in your area are renting for.Mortgage & HELOC Payment – If you use a HELOC, factor in the monthly cost.Operating Expenses – Taxes, insurance, maintenance, potential property management.Cash Flow – What’s left after expenses and mortgage payments.If you do decide to sell instead, you can also use that equity strategically—whether for a strong down payment on a multi-unit, house hack, or another single-family rental.On the networking side, attorneys and other key professionals can be tough to find in everyday settings, but real estate investor meetups, Facebook groups, and local REI events are gold mines for connecting with them.

But if you haven't established those relationships yet, good hard money lenders are some of the most honest and reliable capital partners available.Jennie Berger

This not only secures your cash flow but could also turn a problematic tenant into a reliable one. 

Good luck on the deal but make sure you know ALL of the costs before you lock it in as it can easily make a great deal look 180 degrees differently.

My priority was finding reliable mentors and peers who could help me learn the ropes, offer guidance, and even share insights about overcoming the unique challenges I was facing as a new agent and investor.Networking wasn’t easy at first.

You have literally LOCKED IT UP inside that property.

Comparable sales are the most reliable way to determine value.

Use surveys to gather feedback on their experience.When tenants feel valued and respected, they’re more likely to take care of the property and renew their leases, saving owners time and money.Fairness with VendorsVendors play a crucial role in maintaining properties, and treating them fairly ensures they remain reliable partners.
