If you're keeping the properties all through the downturn and collecting cash flow, the prices will eventually bounce back up and your ROI will go back into positive territory.

Otherwise, get into syndications as a LP to build up your equity position to buy nicer assets down the line.

On a positive note, it would gain resale value.

It has been a journey and I have been cash flow positive but nothing too crazy to boast about.

I can definitely tell you there's still a lot of positive cash flowing and 1% rule deals and you get amazing appreciation.

HELOAN (2nd Position) - A Lender is quoting 10.5% fixed, 30 year term, 75% CLTV.

Others would likely argue legislation is the biggest long-term threat to a successful well-positioned/lower LTV portfolio, but personally I'm more focused on the impact of 3-D printing. 

Account Closed Would you say that would negatively or positively affect a property's value?

Yes… fair deals are possible.Currently the whole-salers are not leaving any equity in the deal.And (in my opinion…)..

My strategy with this is to build equity as quick as possible so that I can apply for a HELOC, Home Equity Loan, or do a cash-out refi to buy my second property (investment property) if rates end up falling in the future.
