. , so it's not too much of a stretch.

We could go to $505k but then we are really stretching ourselves thin.  

The other most important thing investors don't do is they don't do the math properly before investing in properties and they don't stretch out the numbers 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30 years to calculate their projections to determine their profits base on rent increases and appreciation.The next most important thing most investors don't do is they don't have a clue regarding how much more money they can make owning multi-unit properties where their profits are almost exponential for when the owners increase rents and the rent increases automatically increase the value of the properties almost exponentially as in the chart below.

that's a good point of houses sitting idle.there is a stretch of ocean front in Honolulu... were a Japanese billionaire bought about 20 ocean front poperties all in basically a row.. and never really used any of them they just sat there rotting.he got In a little twist with Japanese gov over tax's and was forced to finally sell..

., title, loan, funding etc.I am looking for my second value-add deal and found a partner who is willing to invest purely financially and split 50/50 if I find the deal and do the work to rehab and find tenants (or flip).We have discussed some ballpark numbers, but I'm fairly certain he is willing and able to stretch it if the right deal comes along.

Even consider if you could stretch out your rental situation a few more months in order to build more capital through something like wholesaling then use one of the strategies to acquire the property.

This can be a creative way for investors to stretch their capital further to acquire more properties with less money down to scale quicker. 

If you can find a small multi-family to house hack that is ideal. 4. if you have to stretch to buy a home where the payments are 2x to own vs rent I would consider the decision carefully.
