One option is to keep the home and use a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), which can preserve the low interest rate and leverage equity for investments.

I want to make sure everything that I do is above board and legal.My wife and I just bought a small fixer upper with cash that’s a minute down the road from our home.

I don't have a lot of time to listen to podcasts, and it got to be too much trying to decide which one to watch.

To answer your question (which is a good one), I am trying to make my searches efficient. 

Demoed the whole house except one wall added 3 extra bedrooms 2 bathrooms customer fixers raised ceilings a pool and many more details.

I'm not necessarily looking to purchase all the properties in one go but would like to start with at least $5mil for the first set of acquisitions.  

For example I did a level 2 rehab on one of my rental properties and it cost me about 39k.

Rochester is great for investment and the prices are decent to get a duplex (4 bed, 2 bath min total).One concern though, when people who are not contractors say they are good at home improvements, they aren't usually as good as they think and their value isn't higher, it's actually lower because of unpermitted renovations or personal cosmetic choices.

@Matt Rosas  Hey thanks a lot Matt, after a great number of calls I eventually found the site and its a one stop shop!

I'd like to position myself as a one stop shop for home owners with distressed properties where I'd: 1) Provide a cash offer on there home - (with all the close fast, no hassle things)2) Help them list it or refer them to an agent in their area (keeping in mind that I would likely get a referral fee)3) Renovate their house for them then help them sell - I've got the team and know what renovations move the needleI'm beginning a period of what I hope to be substantial growth and I'd like to increase my flips/rentals at the same time so I'm wanting to ramp up my marketing.
