Think about it - everyone else is trying to make money.

It seems to me they pool their money and buy a house for cash- thereby not dancing with the devil.

And limit your exposure to like 25k - 35k per deal.If you draw down enough money to finance a purchase and rehab with HELOC you can be in for 150k - 200k. 

You can do a longer term rental, it just doesn't make financial sense if you need to front a lot of money to get it completed first.

An example of this would be mixing your personal money and LLC money in the same bank account.3.

I'm thinking some kind of meet up for people investing in Louisville Westend.With all the developments in the neighborhood and city pouring money in there, thoughts on future of investing there.Which neighborhoods in Westend are you investing in, whats your exit strategy and are you self managing or PM.Happy to hear people's point of view.

Over several years, I have worked hard to save up for a down payment, and I currently have $200k set aside in a money market account ready to be put to use.

The best way to make money in real estate is to buy smart and hold it for a long time.1.

. - Buy an already existing duplex and do a rehab- Buy a lot/foreclosure and do a new constructionThe real end goal of the duplex is not necessairly profit, but to give my side of the duplex to my mother when I move out so if I did do a rehab, I do see myself putting more money into it to make sure it is near the best it could be.

I lay it out and be as transparent as possible on how I make my money and use my time for them.
