We are doing OK but hope to get a lot more bookings the rest of the year for people coming to Pigeon Forge.Travel spending continues to break through all time highs. 

What is it about Detroit that initially drew your attention and what about it has caused you to continue investing in the city?

I cannot comment on your BRRR strategy bc I'm not exactly sure what state offers properties in those price points but I'll talk about Boston:For your investment HELOC - have you tried commercial lenders?

I'm not sure how to post them on the file section so email me if you want them or would like to talk about them.

I'm all about equity and I think it is OK to not have cash flow, but you need to have a plan to continue paying the mortgage if things get tough.

Tell them that you'd like to call through their oldest, worst leads to get comfortable talking with people - can I help with appointment setting?

Quote from @Jacob Sherman: ground up construction is always much cleaner . in a fix and flip there are many unknows that may pop up after the demo stage is complete  this guy knows what he's talking about. forget fix and flip. new construction also appraises 20% above at least existing depending on age plus land cost is cheaper and less competitive, especially in markets like columbus 

Once complete, the investor has a property that is worth more than the purchase price + rehab costs.We've got more "skin" in the process than an RE agent as we have to rehab to get a tenant and than continue to manage the property and tenant to cashflow for the investor.This model seems to be growing in popularity with investors versus traditional turnkey.

The people who continue grinding will be ahead of the curve when it becomes a buyer's market.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.
