Hello my name is Dashawn Marquez and I am currently learning how to get into real estate.

You have very strong equity in your current home, but you don't want to burn it all and make your house worth less with more leverage.

On July 17, he had the following to say: “I believe current data are consistent with achieving a soft landing, and I will be looking for data over the next couple months to buttress that view…While I don’t believe we have reached our final destination [for inflation], I do believe we are getting closer to the time when a cut in the policy rate is warranted.”TP: Bird Words — When it comes to armed conflict, ‘hawks’ want war and ‘doves’ want peace.

I this era of high taxes, insurance, and historically normal rates (notice I didn't say high rates as they are currently somewhat the historical norm), it's hard to do a higher loan-to-value deal and get the rents to cover the PITI + any HOA.

However, generating large amounts of deductions/losses won't help you if your passive income is too low.

I currently use TenantCloud, which I think works pretty well for self-managing DIY landlords, but it's not meeting the needs of my property management anymore (I manage close to 70 units).

I think it depends heavily on the deal you get and what part of the cities you invest in, but I do think when you average it, it can seem pretty low. 

If I were you I would take a look at both option even if you have a low rate on the 1st mortgage.

Rents on the low end are $150 a month uncovered.

I understand the value of the location and that it could probably make me more in rent once my current tenants move on.
