He was overwhelmed at first with all the "insider" stuff: the 1031 exchanges, cash-on-cash returns, and figuring out what an ideal cap rate is, especially in a hot market like Dallas.

You also want to look at your liquid reserves because as you buy more rentals more PITI reserves are required and a Heloc can "Never" be used as an asset or for a PITI reserve.If you evver have any questions feel free to reach out I enjoy talking REI and I deal with them every day as  Banker.

You would ideally want to buy in the downmarket for below market price (around this time of the year since its more of a buyers market) and then sell in spring when values are going to be increased and also have a sellers market (you could sell for above market price).
