How to Handle a Vacancy in Your Rental Property
Filling a vacancy in a rental property can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months. It really depends on a few things: the rental market, the time of year, and the property management company you’re working with. I want to remind you that vacancies are an inevitable part of the rental business, and you will get through it! For more on vacancies, see this video on six tips for dealing with a vacancy.
The Best Way to Utilize Equity to Grow Your Portfolio
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of the HELOC. You can definitely find a HELOC with a reasonable rate and use it to expand your portfolio. Just make sure that your numbers make sense, and that you’ll be able to pay back the credit line.
How to Get Started in Real Estate with Bad Credit
I know that having bad credit can seem like an insurmountable obstacle, but it is possible to turn things around. Many successful real estate owners that I know started out with bad credit and/or no money! If you’re in this position, getting started usually begins with finding the right deal.
