Hi All - I have substantial equity tied up in two investment properties (a 5 family commercial property and a 3 family residential property) which I would like to access through Line of Credit products.

Hello all, so I received a call today regarding an off market property, owner is requesting 55K...an issue I am having is no access to MLS, so I researched how to get comps without MLS access...according to Zillow and Realtors.com property is currently valued at a little over 60K.

Does anyone have a guide for self employed people or small businesses that explains the ins and outs to taxes so you can reduce tax liability, but also get access to loans from banks?

I am looking to establish a track record with a short sale lender, so if and when credit gets tight, I can have access to funding for short sales.

Btw I have access to my HELOC but rather try to get a mortgage if possible as I would need the cash for the rehab on the two deals I'm working on.

For some reason, I cannot access the county tax assessors website.

Are you saying no internet access or just no wifi?

In your opinion would it be a better strategy to invest passively in a market like Brooklyn which is appreciating very rapidly average returns of 10-20% cash on cash.Or to invest in low income neighborhoods in Philadelphia and buy 2 family houses making around 20%-30% but not much future growth.I like the idea of building my own portfolio but I have limited access to capital and I don’t want to have a lot of partners to worry about.Any insight would be greatly appreciated.Heshie

It is two blocks from my daughters college and I will be converting to furnished student housing and more than tripling the cash flow in early 2020.

You’ll spend hundreds to gain access to thousands, not worth it.
