Passive Real Estate Investing

Today's question comes from Jim . I'm considering refinancing to use this idle equity in cash flow markets and like to accelerate the amortization on the newly purchased turnkey property. Would it ever make sense to purchase turnkey properties by putting down a greater down payment, say 40% and financing an investment over 15 years as a way of accelerating amortization?

And today's question comes from Jason. He says, dear Marco, we are looking to take out a HELOC, a Home Equity Line of Crediton our primary residence for the purpose of buying our next home. Since I am a licensed residential contractor, I would like to find a new construction opportunity or a fixer upper fixer property. My question for you is two parts. First, would we be able to get better loan terms as a construction loan / line of credit, through my business or would it be more favorable to finance this as a personal loan? Secondly, there are a lot of HELOC Home Equity Line of Credit products out there. What terms should we be looking for in a favorable agreement and are there terms we should try avoid?

Today's question comes in from Janice and she says, hi Marco. Thank you for taking the time to educate. My question is specifically about age. At the time of investing, I listened to episodes 224 and 225 which had to do with using your principal's home equity to invest, which is what I'm interested in. You briefly mentioned age in one of the episodes but didn't go into detail. Hypothetically, I want to invest equity from my primary residence and rental properties. What recommendations would you give a 30 year old versus a 50 year old if each had $200,000 to invest? I was initially interested in flipping because of the faster turnaround, but have recently come to understand the long term value of buy and hold properties, but maybe that applies more to the younger generation.

Today's question comes from Jonathan and he says: "Hi Marco. My question involves analyzing the risk reward of a cash out refinance to utilize a portion of the equity from our primary residence to hopefully launch into real estate investing. My wife and I have lived in this home in Oregon for the past 10 years. Current equity is about $200,000 but recently tied this to a HELOC for $46,000 which was used to remodel a large portion of our home. We are both around the age of 50 and have been paying into 401k's from our W2 jobs but do not have a long term investment strategy beyond that, single-family homes or small multi-units would be of interest and not necessarily in our current market with a structured goal to scale over time. Thank you for your time! ~Jonathan."

So today's question comes from Jason and he sends this question in with some urgency. Jason writes in and he says, hey Marco, I closed on a property just as the coronavirus pandemic started. This property is in the Phoenix market and I think we both know this market is susceptible to a decline in values. I will be all in for $250,000 and I paid cash. This includes the rehab or renovation and all other costs including selling costs, as my intention was to flip it. If I don't sell all in, it will be around $235,000 it will rent for 1400 to $1,500 a month. Obviously doesn't come close to the 1% rule. I'm worried with what's going on with coronavirus. I will not be able to sell it at a profit. The estimated after repair value at the time of closing was $270,000 so only a $20,000 profit margin. I feel like my biggest loss will be the opportunity cost. My question is, what other strategies should I be considering such as a lease option providing owner financing, a home equity line of credit or a cash out refinance

Today's question comes from Sarah. Sarah says, hi, I stumbled across your article on IRAs and real estate investing. I'm wondering if you have information on the pros and cons for using my 401k from a job 15 years ago for investing in rental properties. We currently have two rentals, wondering if it's even an option to use the 401k investment for purchasing rental properties and the pros and cons in doing so. I'm assuming one major contributing factor is how the 401k is growing currently.
