There is ALWAYS a demand for ocean-side properties in FL, and these are not only retirees.

Hi Roland,I manage my own MTR and co-host for others in North Dallas.

Real- Estate  is a lot tougher game now because of technology now allowing buyers, sellers to access the market using the internet without using agents but  you do have hot areas that can support  more bodies .

Any information about land in reference to developing townhomes would be helpful Thanks @William Fuller Do you want to start small and gain experience in your market and then go from there?

I have decided to look into a heloc, I'm a bit newer into realest state investing, I have completed a couple of fix%flips this year, I currently use hard money for the purchase with 10% down and I cover 100% of the rehab, with that said even just doing a couple of homes at a time, I find myself around 200k out of pocket, I think it would be a bit easier on myself and wife if we utilized a heloc vs just cash, my primary should appraise around 1.1m and my mortgage is 640k, I'm looking at pulling about 250k for a heloc, I don't want to refi the home and cash out as I only want to pay interest on funds as I use them ( I know I won't always be using the heloc cash) Any advice or even knowledge for people in a similar situation, and anyone have a referral for a Heloc?

All units are 1/1, and will be fully furnished. 

I've been using Stessa to manage my real estate portfolio for several years now.

If you have 60k equity and 10k cash, slow down and remember this - you need 15k for reserves for a new property and you should always only use half of your equity which would leave you with 15k for downpayment and 10k cash for renovation.

Once you sell your old property and use a QI, the exchange will be complete and your capital gains will be deferred.
