my business is building new homes and i have 12 presales currently so just finishing those up and they will all close so rates are not affecting me. 

I'd love to meet up, specifically areas East of the 215 and or North of the 10.I'm also curious about starting out in B-/C+ class-ish multi-property where the median house is around $500k, however it boarders an area of the median home of $700k. 

I just didn’t know how to do that research until today with the help of you guys, and also I have spoken to the lender I’m closing on the property with initially and he told me to wait about 6 months and we can start talking about HELOC from there 

Over time you'll pick up on alot of costs plus familiarity with your market and contractors  

Along my journey to understand how to acquire my first property, I have encountered people that swear it’s possible to use other people’s money (for down payment, closing cost, rehabs etc) but on the other hand I have investors of 20,30,40+ years who think I am absolutely nuts for even thinking it’s real & make it very clear that I am an idiot for ever believing such a thing and will 100% need to come up with my own funds.

Selling and dropping the equity into an index fund is a lower-maintenance option, but you’d be locking in your gains at a relatively stagnant point in the market.Given your low interest rate and the potential for rents to inch up, renting could be a reasonable play.

That interest pays to me so I don’t have to give up extra interest money to the mortgage company and my 401k is pretty solid for my age.

They do not vet their investors who could have gone out of business years ago but their profile is still up.

It will set up super thin like that and flake off.
