@Chris Miller history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.I remember 2006, and how the fed was engineering a beautiful soft landing and everything was great and home builder stocks and banks and investment banks were THE stocks to own because all the data was pointing to a rosy future.The only data source you would need is the yield curve.  

This isn't a stock, where you price it today based  off tomorrow.

We don’t want to let her get away with this again and it’s more about principle at this time.

Between furnishings (2 bedroom), stocking kitchen and bathrooms, outdoor furniture and hot tub, I’ll be around $25k.

Standard heloc cost on a 100k @ 5%, 10 year term(int and principle)= 67k in interest.  

We use it for all exterior or interior trim in stock white color at all of our units and even our flips.

Driven by favorable interest rates and stock market performance, debt issuance has been the main capital driver.

In order to harness as much of the effects that add to your net worth you want to buy as many assets as you can, and as much quality as you can afford.It is very tempting to go into cheap neighborhoods, but especially with the old housing stock we have in the Midwest capex will exceed cash flow over time and you are not building equity.Consider your first deal a proof of concept.

To insurance salesman the answer is always life insurance; to stockbrokers the answer is always investing in the stock market; to a hammer the answer is always a nail. 

Some people will leave because you want to raise it $25 out of principle and the longer it’s empty the longer raising the rent was pointless.
