The real estate market has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but the recent drop in mortgage rates offers a glimmer of hope for potential homebuyers and investors alike.

If that is not possible, then I would ask myself if the increased cost of capital to access the equity is worth the next deal's profits/benefits.

Quote from @Evans Debeza: Hi All, I am new to real estate investing and am looking for ways to help help me expand my knowledge and experience in the business as I look to grow my portfolio (currently have two properties, one ground-up, one flip & rent, both totaling 5 rental units).

I am beginning by real estate journey with purchasing my first multi-family home to rent out to section 8. 

Looking to buy a brand new house 2023 price is reasonable and charging 0.8-1% of purchase price is do able..my question is financing real estate but my first property is almost paid off and has been an uninterrupted rental for 7 years thankfully 90% paid off, cash is tight...could take out loan against CC at 4% flat to pay off house then maybe leverage paid off rental (private mortgage)?

I'd like to free up some cash so that I'm ready to close on the next great real estate deal that I track down. 

Being that I have my own property and feel I have a lot of basic knowledge on Real Estate I wanted to make sure she is protected when she sells the property. 

Like in a high-stakes bank robbery film, only this time you're negotiating the exciting and frequently unpredictable world of real estate financing rather than robbing a bank.
