We want to invest in buy and hold properties, but we feel that pursuing this strategy will better benefit our long-term goal due to the potential cash flow and appreciation of a property (if we buy right).

I am interested in all areas of real estate investing but leaning more towards a buy and hold strategy.

If you look at this first property as a buy-and-hold, you will have cash advanced on the line of credit that won’t be completely paid back to $0 and you will have your own cash in the property for improvements that you won’t get back out until you sell the property.2.)I’m going to throw out some possible terms, though I want you to know that everything is subject to final credit approval.Option 1) If you are wanting a line of credit secured with the autos, we will need to establish a financial covenant something to the effect of the line will need to rest at $0 for at a minimum of 10 consecutive days.

Are you doing a flip, buy and hold, turnkey investment, etc.?

You can wholesale, flip, buy and hold(rentals), buy notes, lend to others so that they can wholesale, flip, buy and hold.

Personally I have been interested in buy&hold property but I am open to suggestions.

the 3 family arv about 375.000 when finished with repairs of about 46.000 no money down he will hold mortgage wants 270.000 trying to figure if this is a good deal 

I would be buying it to hold and rent, sorry I left out!

I don't like the idea of holding a 2nd if there's going to be a market correction, unless there's a lot of equity in the property.

Not all true, the 2nd can still hold a lien against the property...
