I’m here to soak up all the knowledge I can, share my experiences, and connect with others who are just as passionate about real estate.I’m looking forward to jumping into discussions, learning from everyone here, picking up tips and best practices for multifamily investments, house flipping, house hacking, and BRRRR, as well as making connections and maybe even collaborating on future projects.Thanks for having me!

(I do not live in Orlando, my retired father does)... and my father takes care of all the maintenance (repairs, hiring contractors for electrical, HVAC, roofing, etc.) as well as showing the property for leases, he is my hands and eyes there... all for free, I do not pay him a salary or any compensation, and he does not want one. 

Treat them as part of your team and they will treat you well. 

Alternatively, if you're able to put a good chunk down payment on a property and the rent(s) cover your mortgage + expenses + a touch more, in an area that you like and know will appreciate, that's pretty nice as well. 

@Mike Barone I've been using batchleads for a little as well, but what I can't figure out is if there's a way to pull fresh property data, as opposed to having to use something like propstream to keep exporting/importing between systems.

Also id like to section 8 tenants as well 

As a result, careful consideration of the ramifications of the S & A decision is essential when planning internal corporate restructuring transactions involving recorded deeds, as well as in estate planning transactions.CAVEAT❗️❗️❗️This DOES NOTpresently apply to transfers of non-homestead residential property to revocable living trust agreements or land trusts This is limited only to non-homestead properties (such as vacation homes, secondary residences, rental properties, or vacant land)KEY TAKEAWAYSIt is important to remember that a change of ownership or control might not make a difference unless the property has been appreciating at a rate of greater than 10% annually.

Yeah, that's how well that works out. 

Oh, well I am seeing properties at the price.

Hey Zachary I think it's essential to look beyond mere interest rate differentials and focus on strategic benefits, particularly if scaling your portfolio is a long term goal.Key considerations:Pre-payment penalties: Determine if the HELOC has any penalties, impacting your flexibility payoff.Scaling strategy: Evaluate the scalability and limitations of each financing option.Advantage of HML: Allows scaling without hard credit pulls, and no pre-payment penalties.Holding costs: Factor in not just interest rate differences but also ancillary expenses as well as overall goals of scaling.Example scenario:Property purchase for $120,000 with $30,000 renovation.
