Similar to a private investment group, a crowdsourced peer review forum isn’t a bad idea either.I didn’t mean for this to be a Yardi promotion.

This would apply to a BRRRR, Buy and Hold property strategy-- Anyone use a HELOC, (interest only) for a BRRRR with success for a multi-year length of time?

Looking at some old houses like 1920s or 1950s, I am not sure how much will they hold in the next 30 to 40 years.

Holding a tenants hand and talking them through a rent increase is not necessary and not professional .

Keep in mind in TX you likely won't be able to get title insurance for 2-3 years on a tax sale property, so not a good idea to spend money until then.

There is this idea if you put more than 25% down it's a "bad deal" or if the 1% rule is not followed it's a "bad deal".

If you did not win a bid, they should have simply returned the cashier's check you provided them or given you a refund if it had already been deposited in their escrow account, unless there was an agreement between you for them to hold it for the next offer.

My wife and I are proud buy & hold investors with 4 doors (2 single family, 1 duplex) and are looking to grow as our financing opens up.   

The whole idea behind this is to pay minimum interest and keep more of your cashflow.Nothing wrong with exploring your options, but you need to make sure numbers do add up.

Indeed that is true, the idea is that you keep buying property and stack deprecation
