@Sean Polley yes please more feed back.

That said, I believe it'd be best to find a property within South Bay that will also feed our goals.We're aware that South Bay is notably pricier than most of the country. 

@Casey Hampton your local Housing Commissions should have websites that you can use to educate yourself.If you want someone to spoon-feed you, there are several S8 "gurus" that will charge you to basically summarize what you can learn on your own.

The only reason I might throw in a second one is just so the person doesn't just feel they chose the wrong channel even when they all pretty much work. 

The 1 feeding the home is shared.

If you have sufficient ceiling height, a good option is to install a resilient channel system and 2 layers of 5/8 type X sheetrock.

Been listening to Real Estate Rookie and BP channel for a little bit now and this is my first time posting in the forum.I’m currently living in WA State and own a home that is under a VA Loan.

Prepagent also has a massive pdf file for all of the vocab, as well as flashcards and vocab study guides.I also recommend the Real Estate Advantage YouTube channel.

You are making an arbitrage already by 1 to 2%.But then, if you are using a bank to get that line of credit, and use the loan to invest, your interests are deductible.You then reinvest that money that will provide enough cash flow to pay the interest and continues to grow also.I would suggest that you check @Thomas Rutkowski website and Youtube channel You can use a Whole Life or an Index Universal Life Insurance for this strategy.
