Quote from @Dylan Webb: Hello, here's my situation:My wife and I own several properties separately.2 of the single family homes combined we have conservatively $150,000 in equity ($90,000, $60,000) I want to use one of these as collateral for a small loan of $30,000 to put down on a high cash flowing property OR have a lender finance the whole venture at a purchase price of $160,000.

By offering real value in a way that has high demand, I’ve been able to build strong relationships with people who are actively doing deals.

Many of these lenders allowing 2nds behind them are more expensive capital (10's - 13's in our current market [high rates - but now showing signs of coming down]).

Too bad you need to eat the high conversion rate now.

 Hey GUYSOver the years, I’ve worked on creating high-converting funnels for marketing agencies, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the core principles of attracting, nurturing, and converting leads are just as relevant for real estate investors.I’ve been diving into strategies that could help investors streamline their deal flow, attract motivated sellers, and build better relationships with private lenders.

If Airbnb is your best option, choose a location with high occupancy rates and optimize pricing with dynamic tools like PriceLabs.

Highly recommend partnering with a local realtor who knows the market. 

I should probably focus less on the highs and lows and aim for that average ARV per location and what buyers/renters are looking for. 

In a highly competitive tourist market like New Orleans, I update my photos weekly. 

Let brokerage grow, tenants pay down mortgage, and save up for another property organically (Cons - slow growth, waisting equity// Pros - low risk)2) Cash out the $300k brokerage account, pay off the townhouse, start cash-flowing $2,400/mo, and save up for new investment or 1031 into multi family(Cons - cap gains tax on cash out, high Oregon income tax penalty, hard to find deals being $2,400 monthly cash flow) // Pros- cash flow, increased leverage into large investment)3) Cash out $300k brokerage and put into separate Multi Fam property, hoping for $2,400/mo+ cash flow, keep townhouse rented as is (Cons - cap gains tax on cash out, not utilizing equity PROs - increase portfolio value, higher upside with value add or rent increase on new units?)
