I’m just getting things started and want to get into ‘buy and hold’ properties to bring in some additional cash flow.My wife and I have a decent amount of funds set aside, but I was wondering if it makes sense to open a HELOC on our primary residence and utilize some of those funds as well for a down payment.

Selling the property costs the owner nothing (no closing costs, realtor’s commission, etc) – I’ll pay it.If you’re interested, I would like the opportunity to speak with you about potentially being a solution.

I’m 24 years old and reside near the Lafayette area in Louisiana.

With that being said what would be best way to obtain another property to have as a residence without selling off rental properties.

I have an extra room in my primary residence and I decided the best way to start and learn would be to rent that out.I guess I am just looking for general advice as to what I should do in this situation and what I should be looking out for especially when it comes to screening. 

Best example was my most recent purchase (and primary residence).

I couldn't offer my name and credit because I am under contract for a personal residence and plus, I have student loan debt too.

The solution is to dump Stocks and buy an investment that gives cash flow and grows.

I invest mainly in SFH and the rental market is still very strong when targeting people who want to rent their residence, but don't want to be packed into apartments.  

What's the best cost effective solution that you've found for your apartments?
