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. 

i'd seek professional advice.Hi Nicholas,I see your point and I understand how since you do flips and rehabs that cash would be an absolute necessity for you.  

With the real estate listing agent, you will not be allowed to sell it for the term of the contract.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Own a rented out condo free and clear, and looking at options on doing a cash-out, not for real estate purposes.

Hello Laura,I have actively purchased land that I identified for the last 10+ years.The easiest way to find out if the land is for sale is to talk to the owner directly.You can use tools such as Whitepages.com surprisingly they have over 90% of people's cell numbers.If you can't get the owner on the phone, I would send them a letter asking them if they want to sell, I have seen other people use actual contract offers that they send out to the owner trying to purchase the property.I would not share my concept unless its some sort of Charity that you are either seeking a partner or donation for.I haven't used PropStream, However one really good tool is called Land Glide, its and app on your phone, and you can look at the parcel makes in real time, and also see the owner info and for each parcel.Hope this helps,Dustin
