(Yes Sir Appreciation play) My next second (vacation home) will be a cash flow play, already have the property lined up.  850K with 8.6K in monthly rentals

Makes me wonder how and if SEC plays into this situation.  

@Joe SplitrockBest post of the week, I remember sitting in the computer room in small town Oregon at my school playing that not realizing the rest of the country was getting dysentery as well.

You don't need to play the transfer game, every normal checking deposit is swept directly towards your remaining balance automatically. 2.75% is a great rate for a Heloc, I wonder if that might be a "teaser rate".

There is certainly a lot of "unknowns" and the old adage, "You can't go broke taking profit" certainly seems to be playing a factor. 

Especially when they are using a 1031 exchange so that tax benefit is playing into their ROI.

I will continue to invest in SB if possible but it is definitely an appreciation play more than a cash flow.

The more tools in your tool belt the more opportunities you will have.If you are dead set on fix and flip but have funding issues AND issues finding a good deal there's an easy fix:Step 1:) spend half your time getting in with local investors that are also interested in fix and flipStep 2:) spend the other half of your time getting in good with local wholesalersNotice I didn't say spend any time looking at houses?

Unfortunately too they already signed a listing agreement with another Realtor so I can’t play that card.
