What's a safe amount of leverage and reserves?
12 September 2021 | 4 replies
To me over leveraged means you have big car notes your CC are close to or are maxed out and your only making minimum payments you go buy furniture and you finance it.. you buy real estate with the least amount possible down at market prices.And your cash reserves would only last you a few months to service all the debt.So no retail debt pay cash for anything you consume or use OTHER Than a vehicle and decent amount of TRUE equity in your real estate no FO equity IE refi appraisal but you know the home would never ever sell for that on the open market. bascially follow Dave Ramsy and @Steve Vaughan over the years on BP has written some really good comments on how to build an empire while balancing family life and fiscal safety..

Justin called around to every hard money lender until we found one, we used my dad as a co-signer (he is a blessing & always very supportive) We get to the house after we closed, Justin and my dad look at each other and laugh as they tell me the bank installed a brand new room in the time they had it listed to when they out it on the auction site.

Second, I'd think long and hard about your financing strategy and how it supports or adds risk to your operational strategy.

I question how this could provide cash flow worth the effort.The rent per unit of $500 will get largely consumed by expenses.
