Hey welcome I am new as well based out of Austin Texas

I have been using a deal analyzer spreadsheet that I found some time ago and that has served me well for analyzing "normal" deals with a downpayment and lender financing. 

One year after I used that property to pull a HELOC and this year used that money to purchase an off market 4 family property in Clinton for well under market value, which I just recently finished all of the repairs and upgrades on.

They are well known in the SFR world and work with a lot of companies.

well 70s was carbon paper.. 

We have owned a STR in Florida's panhandle, which has done very well for us for 10 years. 

Those skills will serve you well in BRRRRs and flips.

I was fortunate enough to live in Detroit for several years, so I was able to establish a network before moving back to California.

Part of the equation is how much equity can be drawn from your property as well, this would also be a question for your lender.4.
