Damn!

Oh, and the podcasts are outstanding.

At the same time, if I use leverage incorrectly, it's very doubtful I'll get to that point, and I'll likely wind up in a worse financial situation (from having massive outstanding debts I can't pay) because of it.

Congratulations Jake,  that's outstanding and very inspiring!  

And damn these outside investor infiltrators raising rent, these guys need to feel the Bern and stop this immoral profiteering.

@Andres Rossini thx, must not work on the S7 browser :(@Michael Trend outstanding, always looking to build my network.  

What if I use the cash from my 2nd HELOC to pay off my first, so now I have about $40k outstanding and 2 rental properties.

As previously mentioned, Brandon Turner's books are an outstanding start.  

However, if you get into hard money lending you as the individual still might be on the hook for outstanding debts the LLC has regarding purchases, check out recourse & non-recourse loans.I have seen many people purchase houses, do flips as a sole proprietor.  

I'm looking at a place that will bring in ~950/month after mortgage, taxes, PMI, home insurance and water/sewage.Fully occupied with long term tenants, and no major outstanding maintenance that needs to be done.
