Which scenario makes more sense, with $75K cash available:1) put $25K down on three separate SFR (in the mid-west) all priced at approx $100K each, that generate net cash flow of about $300 each = $900 total cash flow per month, or, 2) put the $75K down on one, nice $300K home, in a rapidly expanding market (LV, for example), in order to take advantage of the projected growth in the housing market over the next decade, even though there would be minimal, if any, cash flow while renting it out in the meantime. 

Taxes are irrelevant too, as many of these owners operate their business as all cash.Send me a message if you would like some help getting a handle on your numbers, I'll help you with ways to get the basic foundation of your business in order.Regards,Nicki.

Hi Everyone,Rookie Question here.I have mortgage-free SFH rental property in San Antonio, TX that generates $1300/month ($1000 after Exps), w/ an assessed value of $165K.Questions: Is it more beneficial to use a HELOC versus CASH for a 20% downpayment (approx $40K) to purchase a Duplex?  

We look to rehab all of our properties based on what the local market can support and then hold the property (passive income) or sell the property (generate capital) depending on how we think the property fits in our portfolio best. 

My 9 to 5 job is sales and I have grown increasingly frustrated with the prospect that I am making millions of dollars for somebody else when I could be putting the same effort into my own business thus,  have recently decided to go all in with real estate investing.I have a decent understanding of the process but I am stuck in the analysis phase of how to generate leads for a few hundred to a thousand dollars. 

Operator error tenet should be paying.  

Although you might think that only applies to a contractor, they have the following example:Operative (Speculative) Builder (Also known as “Flipping”) A person who owns land and builds with the intent of selling the building once it is complete is an operative (speculative) builder and is a prime contractor.

Do you really want to be operating a business.I would sell and invest the money in a income fund of some type that could probably generate a 8 - 10% return without a problem.Let your children get loans if necessary.

All income that property had generated in the past stays in the IRA, tax deferred.
