@Jerryll Noorden it’s funny- I have a digital marketing agency.

take the HELOC out and do a rental with 30-yr leverage. cheap $ out there.let me ask you this - where else are you going to get triple digit returns?

Private money is typically in the double-digits plus points.

Let's save the planet by reducing digital waste

I put enough in to be above the "no annual fee" $10k level and have about $11,600 in there now returning in the low-mid 6% range (adjusted for late notes) after coming down from double digits a few years ago.

While this sounds like an adequate entry for little money down, understand that your rates will be in the double digits.

However, I'm trying to go virtual so all signatures will be digital, makes it easy and gets rid of this issue all together.Good luck.

If you get a quality system that you can configure to record on motion or all the time with high quality cameras that you will never have to change batteries on I think you will be much happier.My digital watchdog cameras cost between $250 and $500.

However, trolling Zillow (my only digital resource) has proven to be a very inefficient method of finding deals.

Also, the older non-digital style units seem to last forever, although I have no scientific proof of that.
