Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Mark Daniels: I know in residential lending you can get a HELOC to borrow a down payment to buy another property.

Your best route might be to buy a 2 to 4 unit property that you can live in and rent out the additional apartments.

Reason I ask is there are going to be a lot of real estate ventures where ALL money is lost, and many are due to poor management or buying a deal they should not buy.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Eric Henson: Do you guys ever take the risk of buying a foreclosure at sheriff sale with the previous owner still living in it?

My wife and I are hoping to buy another single family home that is bigger sometime in the next year for our new family and potentially rent out our current home to tenants.

Another cool thing about that is that most their properties are in the low 100s, which means that I can buy 2 of them, and then buy another every time I can gather 25k more.

@Dennis Bragg, how did you factor improvements and market appreciation into the buy-back price?

I’m weighing two options for our housing situation and would greatly appreciate your advice, given the complexities involved.1.Renovate and Buy Another Property•Invest to renovate our current home adding a bedroom to the house given our family outgrew the house.

The duplex has done well because it has a great backyard/garden area and each unit has a private deck and W/D.
