I would pull out the HELOC but invest in fully paid three $100k houses OOS. lot of reputable providers on BP.that way you can pay off the HELOC from the cash flow of the rentals only and not be under cash flow issues if any deferred maintenance comes up.You can look in riverside and san bernardino county and get a SFR or a duplex that will yield $1500 to $1700.. that should also take care of Heloc payment and return of principal.your returns from OOS investing will certainly be higher than local areas for sure.regardless you will be leveraged 100 percent on the principal house

You want to make sure you’re working with a reputable one!

Hello,Are they any known reputable RE Coaches or programs in the D.C., Maryland area?

That does not mean you cannot buy a lemon and lose a lot of money.If you have done your research and have a reputable, agent, property manager, inspector, lawyer, and lender.. you have a multilevel decision making process and everyone signing off on their respective aspect of the deal.I don't know that buying a double is going to get you out of the rat race but, if its a good area and you take care of it, you will be better off with it than without it in 20 years.

This got us looking into hard money loans but how do you know who is reputable and what are good terms and what we should run from.A little about us, my husband and I have run a tech company for 10 years now that develops software.
