Here’s why lease options are a game-changer:🔹 Low Risk, High Leverage – Instead of buying a property outright, you lease it with the option to purchase later.

Purchase price: $400,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Sale price: $620,000 Bought near a private university with the plan to live in it before renting it out.

I have used HELOCs for probably most of the purchases of the properties I own. 

I'm an investor-friendly agent in Cincinnati.

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $60,000 My initial strategy for this deal was to flip it and sell it, but the market was unfavorable so I opted for the BRRRR strtategy instead.

But ultimately the responsibility lies in my hands.I jumped on a seesaw of risk hoping that the momentum would catapult my bank account into six figures only to find out the hard way that flipping houses isn’t as easy as I had predicted.This house was purchased for $64,000 with an expected rehab of $100k to $120k depending on how much work the dilapidated and neglected house needed.The midwest is lovely but the houses carry the weight of weather storms nearly a century old leading to more damage than a beginning investor could expect.The appraisal came in at $225k for my lender meaning our all-in cost would be around 85% of the sales price worst case.

I am a resident of Virginia and purchased a rental property in West Virginia during 2024. 

Is there any investor here purchased through BUCKS COUNTY SHREIFF SALE, it's my first time attneded this auction, after done title research on property at prothonotary office found that sheriff office didn't serve all lienholders in Notice.

@Jose Mejia I assume this property was purchased under an LLC.

Given your mobility for duty posts you can really ramp up your real estate portfolio while serving.Every time they got stationed somewhere they would purchase a property to live in using their VA and house hack.
