I have other HELOCs that were much easier to get both personally and professionally.

Another benefit is it is much easier to diversify into multiple markets, asset classes and operators.Just wanted to share an alternative - often active investing is the way to go, but it really depends on the person and it is important to know that there are passive ways to accomplish your financial goals.Good luck!

While each person has their own perceptions of a rough part of town, in my experiences, I do avoid them.  

I'll let others chime in on their experiences, but from a motivational perspective, I think attending live events and getting the "conference high" is something that only happens through in-person connections and being in the same room with investors who are eagerly pursuing their real estate/financial goals. 

Personally, I think I would stack some cash for a year or so while I did this. 

This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.

He's efficient and personable and is very able to assist you with questions if needed.Hope to discuss this with you further,

Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

I've sold over 80 homes personally in the last 30 months and I'm usually within $5k of the appraisal report when I run my CMA for clients.

No offense to realtors but how a property is set up or length of time it has been rented for has no bearing on the legality of the property records on file if they differ.
