While I can do this, I would prefer to get another HELOC since I get to decide when to pull the money out.

I wanted to foreclose a couple years ago but was told I can't foreclose as long as payments are being made.

Hi all, I am beginning to learn about RE investment and have a couple of questions.

There might be a couple of exceptions, but 90% or more don't buy a townhome

We operate an 80M portfolio of just coliving properties and that is our main source of clients year-round, mainly are just moving to the area for a new job, internship, or grad school and the room rental is their preferred stay. 

And yes, rare but just happened to cross that line a couple weeks ago. 

For you investors that have ordinary income to write off let me tell you the greatest secret to minimizing tax liability, Cost Segregation.When coupled with zero down seller financed purchases the numbers get crazy.These numbers below are one of two parks I bought zero down with seller financing last year.This one park one year is a $140,834 write-off equal to $40,842 in tax savings and the second park is $14,000.I am projected to save almost $60,000 on two community purchases that I don't have any of my money invested into, they were true 0% down parks.Don't kid yourself, real estate is the best investment opportunity that exists.

. ;-) it's by preference, by agreement of the parties involved.

Carlos had a couple of good ideas for down payments.

@Kim Durst Actually, as long as the cash out of pocket as opposed to it being baked in the price is not a problem….I would Much prefer to take the price reduction and fix it myself.
