However, until you've learned how to use that to produce profit, best to leave it where it is - in your home.You don't want to refinance.

It's producing $8,400 in gross rents (when it's not vacant.)

If a property can not produce acceptable cash flow ( $100+ /door /month) with a hypothetical 100% financing it is not a good investment.

Hello BP family,so here's what I've got going on:1- I have two rental homes that have increased in value (same tenants for years)2- My primary residence has increased in value also4- I have a business for the last 5 yrs but did not produce any income this year (just got out of property mgmt. biz)5- My spouse opened his private practice this year so the business is too new, but he has income (just not a whole lot)6- My mother in law has good credit, same job for 20yrs and wants to buy a home near us and move in it a few yrs later 7- I have a personal friend who's doing wholesale deals8- I'm a P/T realtor who sold a few homes earlier this year, but I really don't want to sell anymore, I want to be an investor8- I have no w2 income as I've tried the stay at home mom thing for the past yearSo I am trying to figure out creative/ strategic ways to get financing so I can buy more real estate/ and try the BRRRR method (stated docs?

Come January 1st, 2020 California's Building Code will MANDATE that ALL newly constructed single-family homes be net-zero (homes that are able to produce as much energy on its roof as it consumes in a year).

I just don't see it as a practical income producing activity.

good deal. long term income producing property How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

@Tyron WhiteThe offer on a rental property is only based on what the cash flow will produce.  

You are lucky if your parents', parents', parents' had the luck AND made life choices that helped produce a baby with healthy genes and good intellect. 

@Jon Allen The idea is have a property that produces cash flow, just like a regular landlord, but with larger down payments of course.
