i am married, my wife  [ 60 y/o ] is also disabled due to no kidneys and is on Home Hemo Dialysis, but she spends hours everyday looking through real estate , and though we have found several great oppurtunities, we have no been able to capitalise on them due to out low income and crummy credit ,  [although when i moved here i had 621 score until when I tried to refi through Loan Depot, they really messed me up and I am not sure what my score is now.]I think the first thing I need to do is repair my credit as best as I can, as well as see what kind of assets and value I have to help me get the investing process going. [ kinda long story packed with lessons there]  Due to a small windfall we have $5,000 earmarked for beginning real estate investing in hopes of getting our of our crushing poverty trench.I want to begin by doing non rehab wholesaling,  but am also wondering if Tax Lien investing might allow me more bang for my few bucks.

The building for sale is exactly like mine so I’m familiar with many of the standard cost (insurance, taxes, hoa, general repair cost).The seller list in his remarks that it has a 9.2% cap a couple different times.First off, the auto generated cap rate from the MLS doesn’t even list that, it lists 7.64 based off the numbers entered into the listing.As far as the numbers entered:The income ($33,060) minus expenses ($8,965) does not even equal the posted $21,000 NOI.

Just diversify your portfolio a bit.Then youd be able to live off the cashflow from your 3 other 4plexs, since you have no living expenses, yes you wouldnt be rich or anyhting but you could live a comfortable frugal life without having to work.This way you'd have money thats fairly liquid as well in your TFSA, in case you had to do any repairs or to account for miscellaneous problems that could occur, and in the very worst case you could do a HELOC  to pay for any major major disaters that could occur with all the equity youve created in your home by using the BRRRR investment strategy.These numbers are just examples, however its not unheard of to BRRRR a property and actually come out with more cash than it cost for the DP and Renos, which would help acquire even more property.And if you can get 50K into your TFSA and get a return of 8% from a dividend then thats an additional $350/month roughly, all while living for free.
