I bought my first home last year and want to invest for the future with real estate is what i am gearing towards.

For future reference you should have estoppel forms filled out by current tenants as well as a clause in the contract that the owner will not make any changes to leases or admit new tenants after the contract is signed.You could check your insurance policy to see if pit bulls is against the policy in which case you could give them notice that it violates your insurance and they have 30 days to cure or move out.

Keep that in mind for your future prospects as I can imagine that will be a HUGE change!

@Paul BarnwellWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

I am having troubles on figuring out how to effectively execute a HELOC strategy for house repairs and for future investing.heres My thoughtsCurrent situation: have an excellent rate on a mortgage at 3.625%.

It really depends on what your plans for the future are.

Well, you’re not paying 3 times All the fees, most yes, but you’ll have greater flexibility in the future. 

Be sure to put in your zip code (don't rely upon the automatic feature to give you geo targeted events) and press button for future events. 

Since it’s a small multi family i don’t think an insrucsnce broker is needed depending on your future plans.
