When I   got a mentor  that made all the difference  he was able to help translate the info and assist in setting up a canadian based business that worked for me. and NO I did not need a pile of money to get started just a lot of hard work.

So maybe if you alter you entry strategy to lower cost and build equity slower to build that long game wealth. 

@Ray Realdine I will offer another reason you should think about altering your process.One of my best tenant, a retired school teacher did not apply on Cozy because she did not feel comfortable with entering her social on that site.

I’ve used doodle for meetings and it works well but I want something that basically just bings his phone when I alter the schedule without me having to text every time.

They do not alter that process even if a market is overheated.

Don't be angry if you need to repeat yourself or maybe use a translator to get your point across.

Title searches, insurance, and other costs aren’t necessary on a HELOC, and that translates to less cost up front as well.In addition, lenders look favorably on those who use their current home to put a down payment on a second home.

It does not translate to real money world therefor it's use is highly restricted.If you want to see how restrictive try buying a coffee with bitcoin.

That way, you can understand if yours is a seller's market and predict fluctuations in order to adjust your timing when listing your property (spoiler alert: we can't really predict the future, but we can certainly identify trends and be more prepared than others);2) Consider potential uses: Depending on the demand in your area, converting a 4-family into a 2-family or single family home before selling might translate into higher and more profitable offers.

Following up on #1 above and altering it slightly -- why not take 1/2 of their rental bundle as rent for the first 6 months since you elect to rent the unit now in 6 month intervals and the other 1/2 as the deposit since it matches the amount of a unit of rent.
