If I keep buying houses in the area now via 1031's, I'd have 7 houses to 1031 (keep one house here as a base) into 14+/- properties in Las Vegas before I retire.Whether I put they money into index funds or more rentals, I am now officially FI (again)!

I recently did a couple of re-fi's in Annapolis(excuse the spelling), and was amazed at the rate of appreciation in the area.live long and prosper!

Our Real Estate Team here in Denver, The Fi Team, focuses on helping clients find a good house hack that makes sense for them.

I'm definitely open to an alternative lending arrangement as long as the fees aren't murderous, even the shorter term products I've read a bit about as I have no doubt that once I hit that 2 year income mark I'll be able to re-fi into a more conventional product pretty easily.

You have to remember that the LTV on the re-fi is going to be at 70%LTV and conservative...BRRRR really isn't that great unless you have a screaming deal...most folks that BRRRR with a lender involved get screwed when they have huge renos or unexpected costs with the combination of being incorrect on the ARV...it's really a pretty advanced technique...and there are very few places in the country where you can find deals to make BRRRR worthwhile....sometimes economic condition may create a good BRRRR climate, but those days are passed...

Personal finance content/and the FI/RE community are actually what got me interested in real estate in the first place!
