She wants a house in the city, oh and she wants her 20 something daughter to have access to the unit but not be on the lease.... 

Was able to reduce electric about 60% through energy efficient upgrades, and then put rooftop solar on the place (going in now, permits for commercial are a pain in the @$$....Will nuke out the power bill, just have a few bucks for connection fees.  

We now have enough buying power (via cash and access to loans) to handle more than one property at a time. 

Hello, I currently own 2 rentals in Tyler TX, I have had bad experiences with residential rentals and am trying to move to commercial RE (no multifamily), I have a good opportunity but since it is my first acquisition I am trying to avoid making a mistake.

When you can't get any more conventional loans (10) and you are buying properties that cash flow, then you can go the commercial route or owner financing and at that point, it doesn't matter if you have a W2.

I'm a commercial agent a couple hours away in Athens, and I'm also a newbie on BP (this is actually my second post).

About a year ago I became I licensed real estate agent and REALTOR; not really to sell real estate but more so to gain access to the properties on the MLS.

I've been amazed at not only the massive amount of resources available, but also the number of experienced investors who share their experiences and opinions.My full time job is a Project Manager for a commercial construction company, but over the past 5 years I've purchased 6 single family rental houses (5 in Centerville, 1 in Beavercreek). 

Do you think you can make more money from that equity than what it would cost you to access that equity (the prinicipal & interest on the mortgage)?

I just recommend getting access to skip tracing and credit reporting before you buy any 2nd mortgage.
