But again our goal was flipping not holding.Sounds like you and Mitch are on the same page.

Today, I analyzed over 10 condos, and while I found one with a positive cash-on-cash return, it was far from impressive.I’d love to hear from experienced condo investors about why this type of real estate might make sense despite the low cash-on-cash returns and HOA fees that cannot be influenced.As a bonus, if anyone has purchased investment properties for their children with a similar goal, I’d really appreciate any insights about your process or results.I am looking at buying 2 investment condos for my children to pay for their college tuition in 13-15 years.

This would allow them to fully defer their taxes if that was their goal. 

Main goal of All In One heloc or 1st Lien Position Heloc:  Lower your daily average balance.Main Drawback: Rates are substantially higher than 60% of current 1st mortgage balances.If you are mostly living paycheck to paycheck and your money leaves your account as soon as it comes in to pay bills, this is not for you. 

Looking forward to helping you crush your real estate goals in 2025 and beyond.This is exactly what BiggerPocket is for.

My goal is financial freedom for my family and a life full of giving and serving.

One idea that could align with your goals. 

The return on equity is probably very low considering they are paid off so maybe explore refinancing or selling the lowest performing one(s) or your biggest headaches to reinvest in more lucrative deals.I noticed you also used a metric of number of rentals to attain your goal rather than $$$/month.

This would be the ultimate goal if you are house hacking to lease all the units once you vacate.

They are not alternatives for the same goal.
