Do I initiate a lot of the updates/questions?

Aim for a mortgage amount that clears the remaining HELOC balance ($68K) and leaves room for any additional costs.                                                                                         

Hi @Keith Williams just curious if you have any updates and do you recommend Zi-Find ?

I actually aim for not having any one real estate investment make up more than 1% of my net worth.

It is hard to really keep up with those kinds of trends unless I budget 10k a year in updating the property which I am not going to do.I participate in our local council/mayor meetings.

On the other hand, if you're aiming for long-term rental properties, getting prequalified with a lender specializing in traditional loans or DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans is key.

My biggest aim is to ensure that my long-term success aligns with whoever I invest with's long-term success instead of making their money on the upfront sale and leaving me on my own. 

Thank you for this update @Sherylyn Holden. 

Lending laws change frequently, and we receive emails from Lightning Docs throughout the year explaining their updates to the documents we use here in CA.

That's the strategy I have been aiming towards.
