More likely, we'll see a trough in mortgage rates, inventory balance, dollar stabilize and and either a small correction in equities or a bull run fueled by lower than anticipated interests rates, sooner. 

Example:  $100k property; 20% DP = $20k = $20k in equity at purchase...meaning for every dollar in equity you have $5 in PV1 - PV increases to $120k; equity increases to $40k; ratio of PV to Equity is 3 to 1...meaning for every dollar in equity you have $3 in PV2 - PV increases to $160k;  equity increases to $80k; ratio of PV to Equity = 2 to 1...meaning for every dollar in equity you have $2 in PVSame example but instead of keeping the property you sell it at the 2 timelines above...3 - Sell at $120k; $40k in equity is now cash and moves forward as DP on new property based on 20% DP (back to a 5 to 1 Ratio);  New PV = $200k...$80k higher than if not sold.4 - Sell at $160k; $80k in equity is now cash and moves forward as DP on new property based on 20% DP (back to a 5 to 1 Ratio); New PV = $400k...$320k higher than if not sold.Same example, but selling properties every time there is a doubling of the original equity at purchase...6 - Sell at $120k; $40k in equity is now cash and moves forward as DP on new property based on 20% DP (back to a 5 to 1 Ratio); New PV = $200k...$80k higher than if not sold.7 - PV from #6 increases to $240k (which also doubles the original equity at purchase of $40k to $80k)  Sell at $240k; $80k in equity is now cash and moves forward as DP on new property based on 20% DP (back to a 5 to 1 Ratio); New PV = $400k...$320k higher than if not sold.Now, if you had a total PV of $400k, instead of $120k, how much more CF do you think you would have?...

In addition, if the foreclosure occurs after a significant amount of the principal has been paid off (or the property has appreciated in the meantime), you may end up taking back a property with some built in equity and then resell it on another note.

ThanksAmod Sell it.  370k in equity, minus CC is at least 300.  300 as a 20% DP = $1.5M in PV (not 410k). 

If you're in an appreciation market (which 80K doesn't sound like it will be but you never know), in 10 years, your properties will have doubled so now you have a $800K gain in equity and all the $180 *10 = $1800 a month you collected which is ~$21K/year or an additional $210K of cash flow you brought in.

I went a bit overboard, but market helped and I’m sitting on about 120k plus in equity, but spent 70k on reno.I refinanced during covid and took about 20k for my next project with hopes of building an ADU in the back. 

Hey everyone,Live in the Boston area and looking to getting start building a portfolio and have roughly $800k in equity sitting in our primary residence.   

Higher end homes will continue to see growth as wealth inequality continues.I like flex contractor industrial shallow bay.

I mean to be fair, I already have gap funders that are already willing to lend to me knowing I have little to no cash to put up and are requesting instead of provide them with a monthly pay back that the hard / private money lenders are asking they would like to be paid back in equity once the home sells.

I'm looking to utilize a portion of my $100k + in equity in my personal residence to use for acquisitions and short term holds.
