.- Should I expect them to pay with a check or be willing to accept cash each month?

I have purchased properties that were on the MLS for 4+ months before.

Every 6 months stop by and say hello.  

Make sure you set aside a monthly budget for maintenance and have the proper insurance in place for maximum protection.I would suggest starting with a single family unit before multi-family as you get used to the business. 

I recently got married and we will be coming into some inheritance within a few months.

The 3 condos are under-rented and cash flowing at about $1,800/month combined positive after all expenses today.At 75% LTV... refinancing the condos alone (assuming a value of $900k) would put the cash out potential amount at $247k.

Let’s say I make $4000 a month and am looking at 4 unit properties, to make it simple well say each unit pays $1000 each month.  

I was able to secure an introductory HELOC rate of 2.99% for the first 12 months in Jan 2023.
