I'm curious as to why so many people use solutions in there business name? Is it because they're not licensed? I'm wondering if my business name For The Family Realty LLC is inappropriate given I'm not licensed?
What are your thoughts on this BiggerPockets family?

HUD has declared there won't be any contracts renewed or initiated as on February 1. The department doesn't have the funds to due to the government shutdown. This is a catastrophe and will have a significant impact on the market and the economy. How are you guys preparing to not get paid for your section 8 properties?

What makes an area a war zone? Detroit is recovering, but there is still has a ways to go before it catches up with other metropolitan areas. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t good cash flowing properties here! The business model just has to be adjusted for the market. I’m interested in providing cash flowing deals to investors, but it seems that many are afraid of our market. With that being said, what makes a neighborhood a war zone?

@Andrew Postell WOW! That is a genius strategy! Definitely a hidden gem. I will definitely be implementing this strategy. I’d like to run a few more strategies by you if you don’t mind? I can PM you if that’s better.

I'm interested in utilizing a HELOC to purchase an investment property. Once acquired, I'd like to take a mortgage out on the new property using delayed financing. What lenders offer this type of financing? Will the HELOC cause eligibility issues? What do the interest rates and terms look like? Any insight or recommendations would be great! Thanks.
