As long as you buy in decent areas with cash flow, moderate leverage, with cash reserves, you should weather future storms.

If you leveraged your current home and later rented it would it still cashflow?

Just, be cognizant of leverage is what I’m saying.

My California primary is worth $650-700k and I owe 335k meaning I've got a sizable amount to equity that I want to leverage to buy a 4plex somewhere in the US and start down this path of building up lots of cash flow and rental properties.

The more I learn about RE the more leveraging your money seems to come into play and trying to minimize your initial investment and even pull money out to do more deals makes sense.At my RE meetups it seems like creative financing is really how all the pros do deals.

The numbers in your example most likely wouldn't work as a brrrr deal as you would not be able to refinance out your initial 35k investment without over leveraging.

Nicole is absolutely right, any HML is going to leverage your experience.

When reading modern books that mention technology, it's always best to consider the concept, rather than the actual software.

In order for that broker to sponsor you, they typically require you to pay some sort of monthly fee - i.e. desk fee or technology fee.I am not sure how it works in other states however.Best of luck to you moving forward!

Should I try, and Leverage equity to grow?
