Sure, people do it all the time. and getting a HELOC on primary home is not terribly hard as long as you have enough equity.

we are building a building just like this in Columbus Ohio except vertical. we added kitchens and all studios and common commercial and mixed it in. multifamily is much easier to finance. we got a similar valuation. we don't have to buy 1 million dollars worth of furniture either. apartment hotels are what some people call them but we are underwriting affordable housing. we copied the hotel development rezoning applications in our market but went for multifamily and I had it underwritten at 15 million and we just had the number one debt placement broker look at it and appraise it for 20 million because they added a tax abatement. hotel development works because of the nightly rate and higher occupancy and no kitchens in every unit.

I have actually seen people that claim to have a great investment, but neglected to put something like property taxes, repairs, insurance, management fees, or payroll in their numbers.  

Because the program is about educating people on investment properties, does that mean one will have to spend time searching for properties on their own, using the methods/advice provided?

When people refer to the Federal Reserve “setting rates,” they mean the effective federal funds rate or the rate at which banks charge other institutions on an overnight basis.

However most people don't realize that a hotel is basically MF with a high turnover rate.  

This would build a great team and build up the people out there and around you out there (even with you not being there).

What are people's thoughts around tenant's Renter's Insurance in Chicago?

A couple of people created what they needed using a water meter with a pulse output and some small circuitry that somehow connects online.

I am looking for some people to connect with in that area that may have more experience as we are out of state investors and have heard that Mississippi has great opportunities for cash flow and for people starting out in this industry.
