Made a tidy profit, and got into multi-family.Your savings plan looks good, but you may want to get your house appraised when it's done and see if you can get a line of credit against it to boost your investment capital.

I want the full suite of returns on my investment properties (i.e. rental profits + principal paydown + appreciation + tax benefits) and I think a balance of bread and butter properties with some low priced stuff to boost net income is a good fit for me.A good example is what I just did the past 3 months.I closed on a house 3/2 at about 1350 sq ft for 35k.

If that works out that general vicinity may see a nice boost, but in order for the retail part of that project to succeed it has to draw shoppers, and the base to pull from in that immediate area is pretty weak.

That’s the question on the mind of every homeowner or investor who's thinking about undertaking a project to boost their home's resale value.If your current home is not a home you plan on staying in forever then only invest your money into projects that could give you a decent return on your money when you go to sell.

What if I tell you the task is to take my trash can down to the curb while I am away next week - great deal!

If this deal really was THAT good. your investor will probably end up kicking you to the curb and just go after it themselves. cutting out a middleman means more money and less legal hassle for you.

It might be worth doing on these smaller boutique cabin rentals since it will help us to keep our nightly rates high, and over time will boost or occupancy rates.  

Its been rehabbed and had curb appeal that drew me into it.

Saying "we didn't cause the crisis" isn't the issue at all, due to the melt down in mortgages, it's the big violators getting handcuffed, along the way they are simply saying.....oh, yes, this bunch, this is the best opportunity to curb the crap investors have been pulling too!

If you need help getting into the right mindset and out of fear, "The Four Hour Workweek," is a big boost (also available on Audible).Good luck everyone!
