You don't want to distract the buyers from the house with too many items or stuff.

@Jahniya Butlercan you start with a house hack instead? 

The interest rate is 7%, so we suggest this property is for someone who wants to get into Lease Options and meets the other requirements such as adequate reserves and credit.That means, they buy the property, they wind up with $50,000 in equity and they do a Lease Option to a buyer who doesn't currently own a house, but wants to.

Divorce - its easier if the house is in the divorce decree otherwise you need to play mediator between parties to come to an agreement. 

Quote from @Richard Bautista: Good evening,Just saw Cleveland, Ohio has relatively inexpensive houses which has the potential to cashflow.

Borrowing against your paid off house without an income puts way too much pressure on the success of whatever deal/project you decide to pursue. 

If you are just starting out, this is for you:When you buy an investment property, it is treated differently than a house you are going to live in. 

Anyone can live anywhere they want if they have the money, and sometimes houses are bought and then rented out without much background checking on the people moving in.

Sitting on 10 acres , build a few more houses 

It's like the 70% rule, you can use it to narrow down 100 deals to 30 deals to dive deeper, but you need to know estimates per house..
