well thank you very much Wesley JeanetteI have watched some on the webinars and you are right the REÍ subject is huge.

Your last 18 ratings were each 5 stars.

Each one I've stayed in was ranked 4.5 - 5 stars, and they definitely were not at that level.

We used to have Co-star membership in the past and sale, lease listing and comps were all add-ons.

At the time, the stars aligned such that we were getting additional monies from all over the place.

We used metal edging, "black star" gravel in the beds up front and seating area, planted sod (900SF by seating area), compacted pea-gravel on top of road base for the driveways, and did a planter at the corner of the property by the street.

In that scenario I probably would have just taken out an equity line and used that to acquire more property so I can keep a star location property.I love having an equity line, have one on my primary and I use it to make cash offers and then pay it off when I refi out when the rehab is done.In the end though, I keep my leverage reasonable. 

., @Wesley W., @Matthew Olszak, @Jacob Villalobos - Thank you all for your input.
