This is the reason why it's good to share potential deals with a trusted team and get feedback, just to make sure your assumptions seem to be shared by others.Hope you keep us posted on how it goes!

This means adhering to formalities like keeping detailed records, avoiding perceived co-mingling of personal and business assets, signing documents in a representative capacity, and, of course, refraining from fraudulent activities.

If your opt-out percentage is too high then it may look suspicious to the carriers; ultimately, affecting your delivery rates.The goal is to keep you opt-out percentage low while maintaining compliance. 

Another approach would be to just keep my eyes open for all sorts of deals of any type, and to try and go for it when a great one comes up..

My question is, do I just not touch the first property, use the cash flow to reinvest and pay down the mortgage or save up for a downpayment down the road OR do I pull cash out of the first property to buy the next property?

How long does the city keep the permits?

The R2R team was great with communication, providing guidance and insights, and getting me in touch with the proper resources.

My worry is, my family will keep growing, and I’ll never continue my real estate journey. 

My thought is to use a HELOC for the down payment on a new property (20% down), then once I acquire it, do a cash-out refinance to pay off the HELOC while keeping my original low rate intact.

Keep it up
