I've been doing a ton of research on REI and wholesaling, flipping, buy and hold, etc.

Investment Info:Other buy & hold investment.

Decide which game you want to play.

@Peter Kuck I spent a few hours on this a couple of years ago and found that no one was willing to dip below the 75-80% LTV mark (accumulative 1st and 2nd lien) which I imagine would be even harder in this environment.If you find anyone, would be a game-changer!

Hi there BP Members,I have a question on how to evaluate when to Sell or Hold or Develop.Sell or 1031 Exchange a property vs.

Would the best option be to just hold?

It can break both good or bad, but as you said on another post, Nathan, the game is about holding onto property through the years and decades.

HELOC: they are out there, but you typically have to hold title in your name and not under an entity. 70% LTV is usually the cap, and rates are double digits (mid teens).

If you don't already own a home yourself, I always suggest house hacking as this gets some skin in the game, but also allows you to learn hands-on and offset your mortgage payments.

Without that you can be sued personally for any issue within it on your str.Its much harder for people to pierce the corporate vail and sue you personally if your property is owned and managed in a LLC .Financing is one of the only drawbacks as it is a commercial process and banks usually like to see 3 years of a decent tax return.We have 19 properties and all are in an LLC and in fact we only hold 2-4 properties in each LLC (all are owned by one parent company and done in one flow through parent company)to even further shield the liability that may/can occur on a property.There is no doubt you are exposed to higher risk on many fronts if an investment property is held personally.
