The problem we encountered was that August apparently cannot hook up to the more powerful 5g.We spent yesterday working with August support staff only to be told to call att and ask them to set us up on a 2.4 g network.

@Bing Lin I ended up getting deployed with the military so I didn’t apply for the HELOC yet.

I can say that plexs made more money BUT they also cost me more gray hairs and the time spent was not worth what I got paid.  

@Chris Smith, with all due respect, it sounds as though a lot of your time and efforts are spent in the lead generation business.

Spent lots of time on the phone calling but cant seem to get anywhereThanks

Another non-question is I as the lessor will claim the (my) rehab expenses on my taxes...I think I read somewhere that claims $ are made proportional to spent $ in the Master Lease.

I'd love to hear how some of you spent your first few months of financial freedom; for now, I'm just travelling around the country, visiting, family, friends, and war buddies, and I'm trying to figure out what to do next.

Just interested to hear your thoughts on that.As I was reading through this thread, that was my thought as well.Every market is going to be different in terms of what acquisition strategies are working, the types of houses that are prevalent, the types of buyers that are prevalent, the cost of labor and materials, etc.I don't know about you, but it typically takes me a couple months to really learn a market, and it can take me a couple of rehabs before I'm comfortable with the nuances of the houses in a new area, the details of the permitting/inspection process in a particular area and finding/vetting contractors.I couldn't imagine trying to teach a new investor in an area that I'm not familiar with unless I had spent many weeks/months on the ground getting the lay of the land (and I've rehabbed in about a half-dozen different parts of the country).

With that being said, I've spent hours looking at MLS deals.
