There is definitely more too it than just the money that goes in.

You might consider hard money for the initial purchase or going with a DSCR type lender if you find something that is more turnkey.Hey!

And you spend all that money on updating it will be for not.

Time is money—choose someone who can execute efficiently without disrupting your revenue.8.

Often times you will pay much more in taxes than if you pulled the money out, paid the taxes and penalty and then started investing in real estate.For example, with the financing you mentioned, the IRA must pay taxes on the portion of the profit earned by financing. 

Simply put that money in your pocket and save it up for repairs. 

.- at year 7 if value appreciated a lot, can i do a HELOC on it and use that HELOC to pay off the balloon - probably not due to lien being secondary etc on helocYes on the HELOC, but it would probably be easier just to refi and pay off the seller, and cash out more money too.Hope that helps and good luck!

I am finally at my two year mark not being W2 so if I can skip past DSCR loans and the such that would be much preferred as I dont want to pay the fees if I don't have to as I am trying to get some money I put into each unit to renovate back out of it.
