Would help if you stated what questions you had so people could reply right away.I have knowledge on HELOANs but not direct experience.

I'm sure they are taking advantage of people.

I joined this forum to connect with others, learn from those who’ve been in my shoes, and maybe even find people to partner with in the future.If you’ve got any tips, especially around raising capital or structuring your first deal, I’d love to hear them!

I was extremely humbled by people and their excuses when it comes to paying rent on time.

I got tired of paying to live in other people’s homes.

That means there are sometimes you have to get people off the list who are not opening your emails, or buying anymore, and add people who were buying years ago stopped, and now are back in.

I did hire a VA to cold call like 12,000 people and it was useless.

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

One other thing that people in their 60s can consider is - if you are planning on taking Social Security and making passive income part of what you live on, rental income may not count as income against your Social Security benefits.

Do people have experience doing so and have they been successful?
