You could still make a profit through appreciation, but you could also end up underwater on your mortgage if the market cools off.

I hope it is working out for you and you have a pretty cool success story to start out!

More people in the property means lower heat bill and higher cooling bill, because bodies generate heat.

It's expensive, unhealthy and simply not cool.

Very cool @Ashli Baldwin. 

This doesn't fit the mold of the versatility that a HELOC is traditionally known for, which is probably what the investor gal from the FB group was hinting at.If you can get through the HELOC process without showing your cards then that's cool, but it not necessary.  

@Jordan GouletThere's a few out here, I like the Desert Rat Real Estate Group, went a few times so far and met some cool people, definitely come check them out. 

Its definitely a cool approach but sometimes hard to find a duplex in the right neighborhood!

Sure we aren't sending money to sure up the balance sheets the bulge bracket firms so that a bunch of MDs and Partners in $3,000 suits can keep coming to work and feeling important with their legions of VPs, Associates, and Analysts with cool excel models and flashy PowerPoint decks, but instead are supporting up the balance sheets of the individual American.

So if you were to wait to buy a house, the house price may be lower if the market cools down, but you wouldn't have those principle payments you were making on the mortgage prior years when you bought high.
