I don’t remember what number is this one but i just gonna stick in with number 4. This one is actually my primary resident right now. But i bought it with the investor mindset so anytime I need to move out. This property will cash flow well.
This is also another purchase from the MLS. I kinda got lucky as the seller pick me over the other buyers.
Initial Renovation Cost: $0 (I ended up slowly upgrade the house as i live in)
Financing: 20% down using conventional mortgage
What is happening to this property?
2013 I moved in. it’s a good neighborhood. I love my neighbor
Well, there is not much to say for this property as i am living in it right now and writing this post. my allergies got worse so i replaced the carpet with laminated. I like Costco laminate if you have a store around your area. wait until they go on sale and just load them up
2015 when the market surged in Houston. I went to the big bank and get a HELOC setup on top of this. HELOC stand for Home Equity Line of Credit. They just use the equity you have in your house and give you a line of credit, as simple as that. i was able to setup $20,000 at 7% and can use it for anything: Buy a car, down payment for another house, reserve money, etc…
The house now worth $135,000. my P and IÂ on it is like…. $350 a month.
Oh actually there is a cool thing that is happening in 2015 for this house. i listed the room on airbnb for $50 a day and i love it! i was able to meet and host wonderful traveler around the world and it generate a nice cash flow enough to cover my mortgage
August 2015 update: my mom went to visit me and I decided to take it off airbnb for a couple months. I will have it back up there pretty soon
April 2016 update: I moved out to the cleaner project and rented this one out for $1300 with the PITI at around 600 and the HELOC  20k that i can take out any time i want. This house is now pretty much sitting on infinite return
