@Joe Gellenbeck Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

With an SDIRA, you can use tax-advantaged funds to purchase property, and any income or gains from the investment grow tax-deferred (or tax-free with a Roth SDIRA).

Also HELOC's typically have lower interest rates than personal loans since it is secured by your home.

Don’t think people who bought homes 20 years ago in areas where the value of their home hasn’t risen will have much sympathy for people who are losing a small part of their 200% price gain on their ho,e purchase of 4 years ago.   

Private Money or Hard Money LoanHow it works: Short-term loans from private or hard money lenders to purchase the lot and finance the construction.Benefits: Easier approval and faster processing, focusing on the property value rather than your income.Downside: Higher interest rates and shorter loan terms (typically 6-18 months).

You won't pay taxes on the gains because it would be your primary residence. 

Hi John, would you be interested in the Lake Lanier areas in GA in Hall or Forsyth counties?  

We've worked with local banks and been able to finance the three we own without any issues.I don't necessarily know if it's "beginner" investor friendly but you'll learn everything you need in the bootcamp which is the gold standardWe get loans with 3-7 year balloons and 25 year amortization typically

Both these 2 are not easy to do, and typically take expertise, experience and or capital.  

- Of course, most of these PMCs weren't even properly licensed and were typically one-person companies.If you have an LLC, the PMC will only need the LLCs EIN.- If you chose to set up your LLC as a pass-thru entity, then you will need to supply your SSN.FYI - to avoid getting nasty letters from the IRS about errors (which might cause us to be audited), we will ask for a copy of your EIN assignment letter or a copy of your SSN card to confirm those numbers.
