Don't do it unless you are very experienced and understand how to protect yourself. 

Some people pull all the equity out of their rentals to buy more, others like to pay cash for them, others pay the mortgages down faster because perhaps they want them paid off when they retire, others just let the tenants pay them down over time.

Sit down anywhere and people would just start talking real estate.

It was my first time going and it was nerve wracking until I started meeting people and it just felt welcoming!!

Hello,I am seeking input from appraisers, lenders, agents, or experienced house flippers on the affects of HOA dues and home valuations.

That of course means a tenant, seller, buyer, lawyer etc will not find it if it is in the Pro area and people are more apt to "Say things they may not necessarily say in an open forum"

For example, a lot of people don't know how to look up their future property taxes for Michigan properties.

It took me almost 2 years of talking with people and researching to push out our first project.

The possibility of loosing your house is enough incentive to get people to pay.

I would recommend no more than 4 for the first, just for the ease of financing and getting the best terms until you're more experienced in this area.
