Or what are other ways I can access this equity to purchase?  

This is a story from my past that provides a perfect example as to why investing in tax liens at auction is so dangerous for any but the most experienced and knowledgable investors20 years ago I purchased a SFR as a long term rental investment that sat on a double lot.  

LTR could get $3200-3400.3-just purchased in August a townhouse in Costa Mesa California 3 miles from the beach walking distance from the back bay great location.

I purchase my personal investments to maximize their equity and hold long term.

I am looking to purchase an extended stay hotel.

Willing to customize to tenant desires FOR A PRICE. obviously, some of the above is accomplished by the particular property you purchased; some by repairs, maintenance and improvements, and some by ongoing service commitment.   

Hello -  My husband and I are experience real estate investors, with several LTR/MTR/STR located in Ohio and Geogial,    in 2022,  we purchased a seasonal boutique motel in Western New York.   

We’re particularly interested in purchasing a duplex, triplex, or fourplex, or a property with an ADU to start our investment journey.We look forward to learning from and contributing to this community!

Can anyone recommend any sites, courses, videos, or books to purchase so I can prepare for the test?
