However, appreciation will put more dollars in your pocket over the long run.The best solution is to find a property with positive cash flow in an appreciating market.

One solution I’ve seen is closing the purchase in cash, then securing the HELOC afterward, though this carries more risk.

That doesn't mean you have to file bankruptcy, but you do need to know there are better solutions than Subject To when in foreclosure.If you sign a deed in lieu, that means you will no longer own the property and will probably never be able to buy it.

There is a simple solution.

I've heard of people doing this, but you need to be rehabbing it enough to make it higher value so ideally you need to be purchasing something that needs some rehab so that you can increase the equity because otherwise you're not gonna have enough equity to pull out

However, you need the temperament/skills to pull it off.

Evernest said they had to pull a permit from the city, have the stove inspected to make sure it was safe for the repairman then they could look at it.

That is money you could be getting as rent.. instead they probably keep the rent a little below market so they can pull more money for themselves/ the PM company.
