We have quickly realized why the BRRR strategy is awesome for being able to scale faster.It will be some time before we have enough cash to buy a property in cash and fund rehab costs.However, with the renovations we did on our primary residence and the increases in the market, we could probably access around $100k of equity thru a HELOC.I understand the risk of having the HELOC maxed out when the market starts to decline, but what about just using it as supplemental funds for acquisition/ rehabs and then paying it mostly down after refinancing the properties..any negatives?

UTPCPL allows the tenant --- among other things --- to demand attorney's fees, treble damages, and punitive damages.I don't know about Allegheny County, but Philadelphia has some well-funded, active nonprofits that provide legal service to low-income residents (e.g.

My second spreadsheet is mostly pulled from census data/trulia/zillow (so I take the numbers with a grain of salt) but it lists on the X axis the zipcodes as well as the county as a whole.On the Y axis it lists: average listing price, median sale price (90 day period), median sale price versus last year, price per square foot, price per square foot versus last year, median rent per month, vacancy rate, annual property growth value, number of rentals on the market for that month, median rent versus last year, median rent divided by 1BD/2BD/3BD etc etc, median age, median household income, school districts, single residents, college educated percentage, percent home owners, population growth etc (there's more but I feel this is sufficient to get the point)3.)

Hi, My initial dive into real estate investing was converting a primary residence into a rental property when we bought a new house.

Some random site I found (https://apartmentloanstore.com/seattle/washington/cap-loan-rates) suggested cap rates should be over 6.

This is just a general question, but I see it discussed on here a lot that your rental properties are under a different insurance company than your primary residence (and other items) because usually your main insurance companies aren't great with investment insurance. 

I currently live in San Antonio, Texas and I am looking to buy either a primary residence or rental property next summer.

I don't have too much experience with real estate (besides purchasing my primary residence) so I've really been enjoying the content here so far :) My goal in the near-term future is to buy & hold at least one commercial property somewhere in Northern California (probably not San Francisco due to insanely high costs).

One thing I am not getting now that I was getting in 2005/2006 - near daily offers of 125% loan-to-value refinancing for my primary residence.

It will be a bit of a hassle with some sacrifice, but it is the easiest way to buy rental property and when you look back, you will likely feel that the sacrifice was minimal and you should be in a better financial situation to buy a nicer home for your residence than you are able to purchase now.
