I have personally utilized numerous creative strategies and techniques to accelerate my wealth, while still making judicious use of leverage to provide a reasonable margin of safety with each deal and a very strong margin of safety for my portfolio as a whole.  

Helocs are almost like hard money rates lol.

More of more people have been bringing up the fact that Jeff Beach has taken money from them.

Really excited to learn more and to speak with those (most ideally who live near me with whom I could meet up in person, but definitely not a deal breaker) who are in a similar stage or perhaps just ahead of me, from whom I can learn and feel supported by as I venture into this new world.

If that was rents are going for and this person signed a lease with your company, or the past owner that states he/she provides the landscape..

They are providing the money for the down payment and have in fact already transferred $100K to an account in my husband's name. 

I personally know folks that have lived in their homes for 20-25 years but have constantly refinanced (and used that money for other things), so they don't have much equity.

Again not sure I understood correctly but if that is the situation then I'd personally have no issues moving forward with the rest of the inspection.

We are about 1/2 way done my personal residence.

How much money would it cost to add the half bath?
