But if you have any plans of future RE investing, then you may want to save that HELOC for future use and go with 3.5%-5% down FHA now

I really want to know how this works so I can build a better future in the long run.

Hi @Hans Cooke, California has always taken the position that if you sell and 1031 Exchange California real property for out-of-state real property it will still be tax-deferred but they want their "fair share" if you should sell and cash out (pay the taxes) in the future.  

Hi everyone,I am looking to build a campaign to have my agents call on the owners of all of the industrial buildings within a certain radius of the properties we already own to start building some rapport and hopefully opening us up to mutually beneficial opportunities in the future. 

I’d do a heat pump systemNo matter what fuel you choose today you could have a compelling reason to regret that decision at some point in the future based solely on price.

I’m thinking of renting my primary residence (3200 sq ft, lake view in Bellevue Lake Heights) as future AirBnB.I’ve talked to many Washingtonians - we love our state but the unsustainable economic growth has build an anti-business city planning council and local government.

Do not count on anything that depends on the future. 

My wife and I are looking to house hack as well, hopefully purchasing within the next year and raising our kids (#2 due in november) while building some equity and preparing for future investing.

Since you're on here, do you plan on REI for the future?
