A mistake people can make is to mentally keep the HELOC in your personal bucket and just look at the numbers for the new property without the HELOC payments.

Our model has been single family homes and we're still working in the "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" mentality, so we will probably want to stay within those parameters.  

You helped add some more clarity to this situation.

@Brady Beshear  I personally use the Nest but mostly because they came with the homes I purchased and never had any issues (if it ain't broke, don't fix it mentality). 

Most investors follow the herd mentality.

You see it a lot when you have to cross large roads or overpasses (it's a mental thing, I guess). 

Provide value and have a mentality of wanting to help others and people will naturally flock to you and want to help you succeed.

I look foreword to working with "like-minded", healthy winning mental attitude, after all you get what you focus on, so lets focus on winning!

And just in case there needs to be any clarity - you will NOT cashflow on any property currently. 

I enjoy the mental stimulation and challenges.Curious about your reasoning behind less risk in starting a company, My current logic just comes from reviewing data comparing the percentage of businesses failing with buying vs starting out.again, thank you for the response!
