I have described it as a never ending cycle of free information that some try to package together in thousands of dollars training programs and more.

@Chris T. Definitely. Thanks. Im comfortable being leveraged.
Im taking a HELOC out on my property now before i leave it but it wont be enough to pay cash for a poperty. However, in the situation you just described, if i did use it toward another property, would it make sense to put everything towards paying down the HELOC so i can use it again?

Hello everyone. I am from San Diego CA, looking to soak up any and all info I can. Currently, I would say I am most interested in buy and hold strategy. With San Diego being so expensive to break into, I am excited to find those likeminded from my town to learn from and offer whatever I can to the BP community.

Hello everyone. I am about to convert my primary residence to a rental. I believe it would cash flow $300 per month. My question is, with the extra money, and given I want to keep buying properties when I can, should I use the extra to pay down the loan or going towards another down payment for a new property? Thank you
