Well if you sell the only way it makes sense is with a 1031 or you'd drop all your hard earned gain for a better return and that's a break even game - no fun for anyone.Cash out refi - watch out in an environment of rising rates.

Hello,I've been digging into real estate markets to get started in the rental property game.

There are lenders out there that specialize in this type of lending, and you can find them by searching online or hire a commercial finance broker to source your debt. 

However, that’s not my game plan anyway.

I’ve thought it thru, I know what I want to do, I know my end game, I know my target for a DP........And here I sit.

What online classes or books have you read to help you get started?
