I have read of people  getting HELOCs on their rental property, but I don't know how they are able to do it.

As you know, we have been flooded with STR's up here in the last few years.

Hey, I am about to do an ADU on an investment property thinking it will cost me 100k but wanted to know how much you believe this added in equity when you refinanced (having a fully permitted ADU).

I live in California, and I know property prices are very high.

Here's how you can find good deals on properties that might need some work or are priced lower than usual:Connect with People - Make friends with real estate agents, lawyers, and others who know about properties that need to be sold quickly or aren't in great shape.Reach Out Directly - Send letters or use websites to contact property owners who might want to sell fast.Look Around - Drive or walk around neighborhoods to find houses that look like they need fixing up.

Many of you probably know the „german“ way of doing things...The stereotype would be the punctuality and precision of the people and the public authorities.The reality is the following: a lot of barriers and long approval processes as well as legal restrictions when it comes to owning and handling capital.

I will say that it helps to know the neighborhoods, as they change often, on the same street and quite dramatically.

I think VA is a better market in terms of price growth vs MD, and a lot of my investor clients agree.In terms of local networks for mentorship/networking/guidance, there are two I know of in NoVa that I have personally been to:NOVA REI Meetups - they meet at Tysons Mall once a month.Cash Flow Breakfast Clubs - there are a few locations including Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, etc.

I’d like to find a place to house-hack/live-in burrrr, but I know nothing about Jacksonville.

So looking to see if any of you have had any luck in a similar situation or know of options out there that I don't know of.
