No system is perfect, so don't waste your time chasing after the next shiny object.

Things to consider when evaluating IRRSo you may think chasing a high IRR is a great metric that will always give you the best deal, but one thing many investors don’t consider is chasing IRR tends to carry more risk.

I have seen inventory drastically up since the holidays but have also had many buyers come back in the game over even just the last few weeks so not sure how far will really fall with so much capital out there chasing these deals (including you all haha).

@Brian Fouts, great points, I don't want to chase after someone else's goals because they convinced me that their goal is the only right one.  

Screen well, keep as many bad ones away as you can and evict the rest and have collections chase them to their grave!

I've seen a variety of payments from HELOC's.Some lenders like Chase will assess 1% of your balance a month as an overlay even if your HELOC is interest only so you may want to take this into account when picking your lending options.I also plan this to ensure my DTI is always in check and I can continue buying or obtaining financing.

Don't spend dollars to chase pennies in this business.

My time and effort babysitting knucklehead D class tenants and chasing them around town for rent is worth more than that ... ... you couldn't get me out of bed in the morning for $200/mo/unit and no appreciation LOL. 

I had a business in an LLC, got an SBA loan of $200K for the LLC through Chase, with my personal guaranty.

The reason why I'm leaning towards going with Chase bank for a home loan is because they allow for me to put 15% down instead of the opposed 20% for a conventional loan and the house I'm under contract with qualifies for a $5000 grant as a first time home buyer (meaning that Chase Bank will cover $5000 of all fees) Which is a HUGE BONUS.
