Thinking about selling this home before I get in too deep. 

Start by reading the Ultimate Real Estate Investing Guide: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides/ultimate-real-estate-investing-guide/introduction2.

I do this with my own portfolio by placing half my capital in high yield mortgage notes, yielding me 12 -18% annual; and the other half in real property with often little current cash flow but large appreciation potential.  

Well, since this thread is ice cold and perhaps everyone here is not aware of other conferences, here's a few on my radar.

It seems like a great opportunity, but as someone based in DC, I don’t know much about Salisbury.I see that it's fairly close to a hospital, which could be good for medium-term rentals (MTR), and it's also near a university, which might attract long-term renters.For those with experience in this market, I’d appreciate your thoughts!

This means that net rents (after operating expense or what they call Net Operating Income -NOI for short) has to cover the mortgage payment plus 25% or more.

I'd like to access this equity through a Home Equity Loan (HEL) and use it to make downpayment on another investment property purchase (12 unit bldg).I bought this 4-plex in my personal name with a conventional mortgage .

There is tons of things I would be able to share, but this is at the top of the list.

All that "certainly yes" cheerleading (and other Grant Cardone-style baseless crap) is best ignored.Read this older thread that states my opinion on the issue:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1124042-tax-d... 

Been working out great so far :) this is in OKC and I have one in Fresno, CA.
