As Dave ramsey recommends of not taking on a house mortgage thats more than 25% of your monthly take home pay.

Remember, there's an added risk if you’re stepping in as a second mortgage holder.

I've been in Mortgage's for 25 years and have lots of money sources for flipping, investments and hard money.

What's the total value of your properties and your total mortgage amount.

The 200k I would make selling the lots wont get me really far as It could afford me another duplex or triplex, but since I have 9 Freddie Mac mortgages, and my tax returns dont really show the truth of what I make due to depreciation, I cant get loans, so that 200k wont do much in so far as my goals....I am selling two of my single families t o get debt of my sheet and some profits, but that'll take approx 4 months from start close.....But I know the risk here, but I am afraid to walk away and afraid not to :/ its a conundrum...So all I can do is have a consultant who can make sure everything is going as it should and I learn in the process....My goal right now is to learn as much as I can before even breaking ground as to not be reliable on someone when I have alot at risk.

I feel that most people make this sound really good because it gets hype and attention online, but I have yet to hear anyone actually explain in real terms how this works...

HI Erias,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

If you have a mortgage on those properties, you will likely need to refinance these to avoid triggering a "due on sale clause" when you move these into an LLC with conventional loans.

Prioritize education through online classes and local meetings, cultivate a network of experienced professionals, and stay current on market trends and rehab prices to ensure successful transactions.
