I have no problem with borrowing on my HELOC to flip houses but my wife would like to own rental properties for cash flow...I can’t wrap my head around going into debt for a small amount of cash flow… I feel like the push here is so focused on growing Large to accumulate cash flow while putting very low emphasis on the risk of the debt that is also accumulating.

My name is Chris Campbell and I'm an aspiring investor in San Antonio, TX.The real estate market is strong here across residential (single and multi-family), commercial and land development.

In order to to do so I'd have to forgo multiple months of rent until it gets resolved (you can't evict and accept rent) and there isn't even a strong guarantee that I would win (CA is a tenant-siding state).
