Opinions

HELOCs are one of the best ways to get started building a real estate portfolio in my opinion.

Hey Account Closed - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.

It helps being willing to talk to sellers/get on the phone and talk to folks in the real estate space in general but the most important thing in my opinion is being an honest and true person.

In my opinion, the 1% rule was a good rule of thumb during the 2010's.

Thank for your honest opinion. 

Lastly and then I will stop rambling... and this is just my opinion. 

His recent monthly updates are not much of an added value in my opinion.

The only thing that spreads faster than a wildfire in a 100mph wind is everyone's "expert" opinion. 

The land assessment value is on the tax assessor's site in every county, but that doesn't hold a ton of relevance in my opinion.
