Total value of all properties is right around $1m so a good amount of equity. 

@Manu Ramos After 20 years of owning and operating two Bed and Breakfasts I found myself in a position of needing to find a job with very few transferable workforce skills.

Propstream allows you to pull niche lists of homeowners that are tax delinquent, failed listings, high equity, or even in preforeclosure.

@Erika Caba I think if at the end of the year when you can evaluate the situation as a whole with everything taken into consideration and are looking at your tax returns if your goals have been accomplished with this building, whether it’s positive cash flow, off setting W-2 income, whatever, then I’d say it’s too early to throw in the towel.

Very positive.

I have over $200k equity in my primary and I will be taking out a HELOC to fund my first deal but looking ahead - I'm not sure how long we're going to hold on to this house so I'd like to focus on building a business line of credit that I can always depend on. 

In my evaluations, I want my smaller properties to have positive cash flow. 

I can definitely tell you there's still a lot of positive cash flowing and 1% rule deals and you get amazing appreciation.

My default position has always been that the reporting is long needed. 

So as I understand it I have access to 80% of that equity $184,000.
