And, if you’ve been in your house for a few years (or longer), there’s a good chance you’re sitting on a pile of equity — maybe even more than you realize.What Is Home Equity?

@Jenna ChenHouse hacking a value-add duplex in Atlanta is a smart strategy to build equity while keeping living costs low.

Hi,I am an investor in single family homes and am interested to use my equity in them to start investing in multi unit shopping center retail.

Had equity but couldn't access it.

Has anyone been in a similar position, or has had success offering this type of agreement to a previous owner of a property who has not yet voluntarily vacated?

Use a payment processor to pay the original note and any wrap if there is a 2nd position secondary note that pays the seller the difference between their current mortgage and the total sale value. 

As for structuring the deal, proposing to buy the single-family in cash with an adjusted purchase price could be a win-win, especially if you frame it as maintaining the seller's cash position for their settlement.

It only has positive cash flow due to concessions by the seller that will last about 2 years.Property values have seemed to drop in that area, so I'm doing something different by requesting a reassessment of my property taxes.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this.  I have the opportunity to help a family member be part of a joint venture with them putting the down payment down.  They aren’t able to get a mortgage themselves so...

The total deal with debt was above $10M but the total equity in the deal was around $4M.
