Wanted outcome: I want to keep some version of an affordable residence for my kids to use as they start out in early adulthood.

there is an advantage to being hands on when you start. 

Hello all,I am interested in beginning my investment journey within the next 6- 8 months and start by building my network and learning from people that have already done it.

(I bought it 3 years ago)I'm trying to see how long in the future I will need to do another gut renovation, so I can start saving up some money toward it.Things are in pretty good shape.

This will be around 150k, but down in a 5-6 years this project should help triple (or more) that amount invested when its time to sell the house.I would use 50k from selling stock and the rest from the HELOC, starting paying right away, up to 1200 per month or so.

These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

who starts off the project by cheating and asking you to cheat as well.

I realize the benefits of investing in real estate and would like to get started as early as possible.

Hello All,To get this started I will give my current situation.

However, I'm starting to think I can get much more selling them individually to owner/occupants.
