In early 2019 we took out a HELOC on the home for $100K, bought another duplex in old brooklyn (inner-ring suburb of cleveland) for $90k.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of negative cash flow is it?

@Pari Thiagasundaram Thanks, that's certainly ringing true here.

It helps that my phone has been ringing all day with other folks who are interested.

@Renee G.In my experience, if you use postlets, have a good property, have a good description, and post good pictures, your phone will be ringing off the hook.  

Rings in varying shades of brown radiated from that point across the salon and into the kitchen.  

There are 3rd ring suburbs with MLS listings still producing cash flow, with good schools and desirability factors.  

Also a cheap shower curtain liner and rings. 

I just picked up a second part time job to pay some debt down quicker so I can start my real estate journey but I feel completely stuck right now until ring payments and student loans are gone.

I'm a member of The RING, a meetup group for REI in Baton Rouge and at one of the meetings the following title companies were recommended by several investors:  Accent or Legacy Title, then Billy Leach in Denham Springs or Pat Miller were recommended as Title AttorneysI haven't personally used any of those named, but those were the recommendations from several investors at the meeting.
