You would want an closed end second mortgage instead of a HELOC for a long term cash use like a down payment.

I'm super interested in buying my first long-term rental near the Atlanta area with my brother. 

This is not an STR nightmare....this is real estate.I had a tenant die of an overdose in a long term rental.

I'm a young individual who is deeply interested in investing in long term multifamily.

San Diego has always appreciated over the long term but in the short term anything is possible.

Hey guysI started to do section 8 and i have a question lately i feel section 8 no paying according to the table sheet they have online in government website, they having appraiser do comps and paying as regular long term rental maybe a bit more but not tremendously. i called them , emailed and all but that is their strategy now , so i asked why they put wrong info on website, seems like they want to lure Landlords lol ..for example https://dhantx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FY24-Payment-S...You can see zip code 76227 with 5 bedroom showing $4921 (less bills $500) so its $4221.but actually people getting $2800-3000 how come it is ?

This is not a good move on the banks part, but they tend to delay any costs as long as they can. 

For a long-term investor, this is a great area to invest.

And good chance you'll make a pretty good go of it, so long as you tailor and market the property to that specific group of people.

My partner and I are looking to create a portfolio of long term rental properties to create freedom and independence from our W2 jobs, and create a foundation for generational wealth.
