We find ourselves having to manually pull several reports and having to combine them in excel just to find basic data.  

I'm in Oregon which basically whips people for being landlords but 99% of your problems are solved by getting good tenants so screen, screen, screen. 

I was going to do this, but I changed my mind after talking with my target demographic (my kids).

Get a good cap rate basically covers your financing and ideally 20% more for maintanance, prop management fees.

The plan is to use the heloc to purchase additional properties, and basically brrrr and pay back the balance - then repeat.What I didn't realize is how difficult it is to find a business heloc.  

The fee for this service is basically passed down to the guest one way or another.

I am open to investing basically anywhere, as long as I could make it work.

I was specifically interested in his 2nd plan which was "Building wealth through single-family homes" where he basically says you save enough to buy your first property along with enough for other fees and then you just keep saving the money you make from that property along with some money you save from your job and once you have enough money you buy your next property and then you basically just keep repeating that until you have your desired amount of properties.

I don't anticipate things to be that bad this time, but the value dropped over 25% back then and we are unsustainable at the point of the affordability cycle we are at now.You basically will be buying a monthly debt, speculating the value of the property is eventually going to go higher than you bought it for.
