If you don’t urgently need the money, letting appreciation and rent growth work in your favor for another year or two might put you in a much stronger spot.If your goal is to stay liquid while keeping expenses low, a HELOC is probably your best bet for now.

Quote from @Bonnie Low: Talk to @Allen Duan - he manages numerous MTRs in the Las Vegas area and knows it very well. 

That seem like a very low for a furnished rental.   

@Shaylynn O'LearyI think I may have posted this in response to you in another thread a while back, but here goes again.If you pick a random "low cost" market like the ones you named, don't know anyone there, don't set up a network, buy random properties, and turn them over to people you've never met to manage, you will most likely lose money. 

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

If the condition is similar to the market average but your rent is severely under market rate then I take an average between the current rent and the market rent and send them the following message 2 months before their lease is up (assuming you aren't in a rent control market),Dear Tenant,Some nice words and remind them that their lease is up within 2 months, please select the following options about their new lease, also mention that you are doing the best you can to maintain the rent as low as possible but with inflation, insurance and property taxes increasing, you have to raise the rent to keep up with the rising expenses. 1.

I hear from a lot of would be house hackers who do not understand that the paying for the whole mortgage and generating cash flow with today's pricing, rates with a low down payment is just not possible and keep renting. but, that is missing the forest for the trees.

@Tyran BlockMake me under 25 again and I'd look to acquire a 2-4 unit property with an FHA low-down payment mortgage.

Industrial vacancy rates for your size building are ridiculously low. 

We offer 100% financing on both purchase and rehab (loan size up to 75% ARV) but only in 10 states.So if the location and the numbers are right, you can be as low as 0% down.Yes, this kind of leverage does exist on the short-term purchase and rehab loan, and for reasonable terms.
