That is simply not true and it is not a get rich quick process.Ask yourself why you want to start off in wholesaling over any other real investment.

Legally operating a business out of the property is one non-traditional style of house hacking to consider.

If you have not, great books to read are:• Rich Dad, Poor Dad• The Millionaire Next Door• Cash Flow Quadrant • Tax Free Wealth• Set For Life• Rental Property Investing• The Millionaire Real Estate Investor• The REAL Book of Real Estate• So Good They Can’t Ignore YouYou are more than welcome to reach out if you have any questions.

Two days ago, a different cousin and I got to talking about education and college, and I brought up Rich Dad Poor Dad, which I only read less than a week ago. 

I hope you have either a super rich uncle or are planning on having multiple partners. 

I bought this alongside the other, so same story as the last... as early as 12 perhaps, my mother - who is a Korean-American immigrant - engrained in me two defining principles that have literally guided me to the here-and-now:1 - Invest in real estate2 - Work for yourselfSo that's what I decided to do at age 20 as a college-undergrad who didn't feel as if the traditional path of Bachelors Degree - graduate - Masters Degree - graduate - 9-to-5 until retirement was the route for me.

currently HELOC rate is at 3.00%, down from 3.99% a month ago when the 6 month initial lock ended (i have over 9 years left on my draw period). now the rate is variable. the bank is hinting that the rate on the mortgage will be around 3.5% fixed. i don't qualify for traditional mortgage on my dti (but i do double my income with overtime and bonuses, and my wife will have a new income as well once we relocate) so our family friend is cosigning on the mortgage with me. the bank is writing it internally at 15yr with a choice between amortized or balloon. the building will need a new roof in about 5 years, and leaving $35k in the HELOC for that would keep me happy, so i'm willing to go up to $100k down payment if it makes sense. that would change my loan to $179k from $223,200, but also would tap any funds i might have for improving the property other than the roof, like fencing in the backyard and converting the third floor to its own unit. the new rubber roof would be more like $20-$25k but i like to be conservative. i have heard of people using their heloc to pay down their mortgage principal, which i could also do, but it seems to be a gimmick, and even if not may it be easier to just get a smaller loan amount to start?

I remember when I was starting out I read all the Rich Dad books, other books that talked about Living Trust, Land Trust, etc.

@Rich Jackson Correct, typically 10-15%.

I have to many loans to qualify for traditional 30 yr.
