Then we'll have a real buyers market and some better, opportunistic pricing.The last crash enabled many of us to buy very cheap properties. 

I plan to extract equity from the properties later this year. 

House hacking a FHA duplex with high LTV, off market purchases, a BRRRR that allows you to extract all or virtually all of you investment, lease to own, etc.  

If you find a great deal you can extract the money from on of your properties to finance the deal. * Decrease Expenses Consider creating creating a budget and getting a clear understanding of all your expenses and income and cut unnecessary expenses you'll be surprise on what you'll find. * Reduce Liability  I'm going to shoot straight. 

The second home HELOC was receiving interest only payments at that time.this enabled us to pay off the first home...which was a buy/hold home that appreciated quickly in the Hawaii market. 

Its a tool that enables you to make more money from the investments you are already making.

This will likely enable you to rent your property more quickly as some have already mentioned.

Also Zelle doesn't allow for the ability to individually enable/disable a tenant in the system.Money orders require driving over to pick up, or the tenant sending them late and then the late fee issue is still there. 

This approach enables investors to continue purchasing rental properties without needing a cash-out post-rehab.

Doing so would enable you to get a first-time buyer's loan like FHA 3.5% down.
