@Corey Perdue As long as the home isn't your primary and we could do a refi for you instead of the HELOC yes.

In my opinion at that point I feel like I should just pick an out of state market because the New York area doesn’t seem the best place to invest right now for someone new.It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4.

As long as you have a lawyer draft it up and follow the rules so as not to allow the veil to be pierced it should work in theory.

Generally, as long as you put together a good deal, you will be able to find the financing.Additionally, the theory of spreading out the costs between a bunch of properties is a great concept, but your costs will be proportional to the number of properties you own and not the amount of equity you have.

Meaning as long as I live in the property as my primary until it sells I'm okay with my 2 of the last 5 years rule..

Does it last as long as a new roof would?

As long as you buy in a good area and keep the home maintained, you will be better off by far.

Read this - https://www.investopedia.com/a...As far as the down payment on your next property, you may still be able to buy with 3.5% down for an FHA or possibly 5% down for a conventional as long as you plan to live in the next property for at least a year.

Normally , all 3 things (problem to solve with the decision maker, AND within $30-50k per unit price range) must be met before they set appointments with me.However, I told my team that starting June 1st I want them to start setting appointments even though we are not within price range as long as the property meets our criteria and the DM has a pain point or motivation to sell (other than price).The reason why I'm doing this is because I just want my team to feel what an appointment feels like.
