People ask me all the time what I did at the beginning to be so successful and while I rattle off the usual stuff (reinvested all my money back into the business, delayed gratification, etc), it's really occurred to me again that before I bought a single house I thought about who I wanted to have as tenants, and tailored my purchases to that demographic.

Hi,I'm starting my 90 Days challenge to purchase a property, and i have two locations i have chosen.

If you find a property that fits your needs and the market is favorable, waiting for a potential rate drop might not be worth the risk.Personal Financial Situation: Your current financial health and readiness to purchase play a crucial role.

We planning on using our primary residences equity to make more purchases with a HELOC or HE loan.

Purchase price: $430,000 Short Term Rental

Quote from @Daniel Rabinov: Hey guys,I am looking into purchasing a new development pre construction condo in Miami that is STR approved for AirBNB.

If the renovation cost makes the total purchase creep up very close to the new build, I think it's a no brainer. 

I am interested in purchasing some raw land that is zoned residential. 

Purchase price: $300,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Sale price: $455,000 This house needed a full renovation to compete in the challenging Austin, TX housing market.

On the one hand, I realize I just need to let time do it's magic and enjoy appreciation and debt paydown, but I'm looking for ways to continually grow my portfolio by either acquiring more properties or finding ways to generate more income which will be used to purchase more properties.I tried using OPM but that doesn't work for me for several reasons - if I go down a loan route I can't pay it back because of my LTV cap and partnering for equity requires a lot of work in bulding trust and even then it's for a very small share of equity which is insignificant.
