Hi @Jonathan Feliciano,Love the idea of investors maximizing the most out of their SFH!

This can help you maximize your lists.

I may pay a couple more off at 6% and 6.5% but as a way to earn more than the 2% I'm getting in my money mkt acct safely,  not really to maximize ROI.Depends on where you are in your investing career. 

The lower priced cities are where monthly returns are higher and so you want to amortize longer so that you can maximize the cashflow. 

If you can get a degree in something that interests you, maximize scholarships, and in state tuition for 10-15k a year, I think a degree is going to benefit you. 

The 30yr mortgage maximizes the number of months you can survive on your cash reserves by reducing your monthly expenses to its lowest value, in this case by reducing your mortgage by $500 per month which is a very non-trivial amount, especially if you have multiple properties. 

A HELOC is a great tool to maximize your ROI as long as it is done efficiently!  

As a newbie, I'm obviously concerned with getting max bang for the buck and it seems I'm gleaning from discussions here on BP that maximizing foot traffic to the website in the short term & efficiently is done with: A) Having professional website(s).

Has anyone found a good way to work around this to maximize their leverage and avoid having to use more of their capital for the the rehab on top of the property?
