Sellers can benefit from a potentially higher sale price and interest income.this simply is not correct.. 

Also, thoughts on potentially investing abroad first vs the tri-state area (where house prices have skyrocketed)?

❌ Stop dividing the NOI by a cap rate to find the value of a deal.When I come across a potential deal, that's the last thing I do.

Hi Luis,It sounds like the larger property would cash flow around the same percentage range but the appreciation potential likely higher for the 750k property.

Obviously in the current RE environment with rates where they are, this would obviously reduce my mortgage payment per month vs if I put only 3.5% or 5% down, potentially me helping break even or even "cash flow" on the property once I move out after a year.

My investment sights are set on the scenic Hudson and Housatonic Valleys, where I see tremendous growth and community development potential.💫 My immediate goal is to purchase my first rental property within a year.

After viewing properties, potential renters would receive programmable follow-up questions and even be given follow-up questions to determine their level of interest.

How do you go about assessing if it's needed in the market?

Borrower short on a variable rate (HELOC), borrow long with a fixed rate.I can potentially do either for you but would suggest a fixed rate either first or second mortgage. 

What about other potential loan options like 401(k)?
