Is is subjective by real estate agents?

Hello, I'm excited to be starting my real estate investing journey with my wife.

I am currently in the planning phase of my real estate investment journey and had a few questions I’d like to ask someone more experienced.Would it be smarter to focus on paying down my own mortgage and then use a HELOC as a down payment for my first investment property, or should I simply use my savings for the down payment instead?

I'm new to real estate investing, but have thrown myself into learning as much as I can by joining a Veteran based investment community, have been working with my realtor and looking daily for potential multi family properties in the Dallas area for house hacking, which I've set myself an deadline to be completed by May.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Hello @Jeanette Land - (Great last name by the way to be into Real Estate)...

I’m also interested in connecting with local investors, real estate agents, and lenders who are open to collaborating on new opportunities.

Is that because you don't know what your Real Estate goal is?

That is why it is hard to get regular real estate loans on assets valued so low, the cost of the refinance makes it so you are paying higher than they can legally charge you percentage wise.

Seriously—Pick a Property TypeDetached houses might be the easiest to work with, but the real key is committing to a property type.
