Eventually I would like to grow my investment portfolio and buy more properties, so I don't want to use up all my cash and stocks on one property.

Given the rate environment I'm not sure that a HELOC makes much sense or if you'll get something significant enough to buy something closer to Boston.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.Purchase price: $247,900Cash invested: $19,000Closed on my 3rd house hack in January 2024 and wow this one has been quite the property.  

We are looking to do buy and hold LTR with either SFH or Small MFH. 

Also, Texas A&M has a great tenant landlord guide to help with most of the laws you'll need to be aware of;https://trerc.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Landlord-a...My vote is to self manage our first 5 ish units.

Are you all still including this coverage (Wind/Hail/Storm) and paying the premium for it or are you buying policies without Wind coverage?

Money in hand sounds great, but my portfolio strategy (even though it’s currently small) is long term buy and hold.

You may have success with Multifamily DSCR Loans for 5-10 units - then really once you are at 11+ its going to be a whole additional/different set of lenders - commercial mortgage brokers probably your best search/bet if its significantly above 6 units in your buy box

Do you have enough money to buy in a market where the median home price is 3x the average? 

Use it to buy-down your loan, offset some closing costs, or pay your coach.I love that it forces buyers to realize their agent isn't free to them.
