Just about to finish up a 7 month rehab project.  My fourth house.   Purchased at 95k.   Spent ~ 60k on the rehab.  Comps support around ~360 apprisal.   Should have renters by Aug 1.    How to do I position myself be...

Do I have to own the property in full (100% equity) before I can make these changes?

How much forced equity are you putting in if any?

You might just borrow against your equity  to make any repairs or help you in a new investment.Good luck to you!

I give the seller their equity and they move out.

For example, I think we are late cycle, so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or debt free equity).

Total house value of 1 million with half million mortgage.2) I have 250,000 Home Equity Loan that I can borrow anytime from the bank to make real estate investment.3) My family annual income is between 200k to 250k, and my goal is to buy 10 properties in CT, and make $10,000 monthly passive income in the next 10 years. 4) Specifically, I would like to buy one multiFamily house at a year, and it will create a free $1000 cash flow each month. 

Look if you start doing special favors and arrangements from the lease you are training them that you are a pushover and easily cave .

I was planning to live in one for 2 years and hopefully build up equity and purchase another one.

However another option I've heard is to re-finance my principal mortgage to pull equity out and consolidate the downpayment and remaining mortgage amount.
