Use the money only to stabilize assets and yourself.

@Tyler GarzaYour "buy a new house, rent the old one, and trade up" strategy is a solid way to build wealth, but there are a few key factors to consider.

I ran into these gugys personally coming out of the GFC were money was really tough to raise..

As far as hiring the other trades, this can be difficult from a distance, who is helping locally?

Over three decades, I've not seen a ton of situations where no money down/100% leverage has worked well. 

Southbridge and Webster are cheaper as well.There will be obvious trade-offs in terms of location / amenities and price but i have seen good traction in all of the aforementioned locations.I'm looking for househacks for clients around central Mass and while they're not impossible to find by any means units in Worcester are typically trading at $225-250.

As you know in many real estate deals, the money is made at the buy.Personally, I'm focused on off-market deals where we can create value.Curious—how did you frame your offer to get them to drop without hesitation?

Hi Kam 👋 There’s so many ways to make money in real estate and they all have their pros and cons.

Managing rentals is much less time consuming.Since your rentals aren't producing much cash flow, maybe it would make sense to sell them to trade up into multi-family.
