If you're only using a portion of the funds, its less of a risk and could make sense depending on your situation and the deal itself.  

If it’s a small place mini splits work well.

Lastly, they’re going to want a higher interest rate than they can get from the bank for taking the risk.

@Brandon Pimm my friend and I are in jersey as well looking at Allentown as potential first rental property purchases.

Had a good conversation about his assets in the area as well as the situation with the property.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Those skills will serve you well in BRRRRs and flips.

Thanks in advance,Rookie You’re going to struggle to find cash flow anywhere in the dmv, you would really be buying for appreciation only, both for ease and some upside, I’d look at some condos in dc, definitely some risk, but you can pick up a condo at a price you would have paid a decade ago. 

What is the loan to value - this is for risk and secure the real estate to make sure its not unsecured.2.

The risk increases the further you go from home, so I'd just stay home if I were you.
