Quote from @Joshua Nuss: Your equity is not a savings account from which you can withdraw whatever you want.

Many months of rates moving at most a few basis points a week morphed into dramatic, massive movements—with bigger changes sometimes happening in one day than had occurred in quarters or years prior.Real estate investors navigating the challenging market of 2024—with mortgage rates still at elevated levels—are at an advantage when they can lock in financing terms or plan purchases while DSCR loan rates are favorable.

I understand if funds are not available it is easy get blinded by what saves the most, but if multiple people are telling you that it is a bad idea mostly likely is because they have learned that most of the times or never, saving in the short-term doesn't payoff.

Hello all,  I've been saving up for a few months because I'd like to start flipping houses.  

This ship has sailed.If you need a down payment but want to keep the townhouse, you may be able to refinance it instead of selling.You can do a 1031 exchange but cannot PLAN to move into this new place.

If so, Please let us know how it went and if they are any negatives to the program.My cousin actually works for the program and I plan on using it after my next purchase   

We're looking for ways to increase our income and have decided to obtain an LLC.Initially, I planned to use the LLC for a rental arbitrage business in Anaheim, CA, near Disneyland due to its high tourist appeal.

The PM should actually be reaching out to you about this, to inform you of their decision one way or the other, but if they do not, you may want to know what their plan is at the end of the tenancy. 5. results of move-out inspectionBest wishes. 

I have one LTR that I do plan to leverage to purchase my next property, but I am really looking to find hard money lenders/investors to help fund future deals.

You could save money if you do it yourself, but you'll be using your time.
