These all play into the "type" of investment we wanted to do.We are in Iowa where December thru March can be cold and windy. 

Your property manager will play a key role in this team, helping you maximize occupancy, maintain the property, and ensure tenant satisfaction.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

After 20 years in real estate (before DSCR loans were even around), here’s my take: Tampa and Central Florida are gold mines if you play it smart.

HELOCs are much tricker than a closed end second - they don't typically allow you to close in an LLC and they are full doc qualification, meaning your FICO, employment history, income, DTI etc all come into play.

For me, I’ve been testing a few different methods recently, but I’m always looking for new ideas to take my wholesaling game to the next level. 

We did quite well in the Timber game in the 90s Owned many thousands of acres of Timberland during that time its a great industry one of the favorite things I ever did beat the heck out of rental houses LOL

My dad and I (both with access to VA loans) are about to get into the multifam game and how we proceed is really going to depend on the true occupancy rules for the VA and our lender.
