Most people like to hot soak at 130'ish for several hours to ensure killing everything.

I’m Louis, and have been lurking around BP for a while trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible.

What you are saying is once you have raised the value of the "seed" property to your example of $125k, you then proceed to refinance the property to get some of the equity out of them home for a down payment on another residence, after doing that you sell the property which allows you to take all earnings (after first mortgage is paid) and roll that over to either one or 2 new (and hopefully more) equity based properties?

Just trying to soak up as much as I can before I graduate.
