😳 The Overtime Trap for First Responders
I’m curious… Do you think some first responders rely too much on overtime instead of building assets? 👇 What’s holding them back?

@Brian Waters thank you for the response. I have one rental and a second one that will be mine when my I laws pass (long story). I can’t seem to get over how to scale. My parents had rentals my whole life and loss a lot in the 80’s and 90’s. I have giant fear of loss to my family. We have been through a lot of poor times over my life. The whole reason I got into public service was the consistency of a pay check.

Tax return
We got $10k for a tax return this year. We of course have house project, kids sports , etc we can spend it on. But we make it on all those things normally. Can I buy a cash flowing property somewhere with this unexpected cash?

@Brian Waters I can make that happen. Solid numbers make easy goals. I’m too stubborn not to reach a goal. Just gotta know what the goal is. Thank you.

Solar
It might have been covered, I’ll delete if it has. But what do you do about buying property that has solar and it is a terrible solar deal (there are sooo many, especially in Ca)?

Thank you for the responses. Sorry I’m slow to get back, still stuck in ot trap. I get both responses, but having dealt with a solar project personally that cost me $70k in property upgrades (put on a detached garage that wasn’t up to code come to find out). I’m gun shy on getting into another money hole.

🧯 Pain Point?
Be honest… What’s the ONE thing stopping you from buying your next property? - Money? - Fear? - Analysis paralysis? - Spouse not on board? - Time? 👇 Drop it below. I read every comment.

I can’t seem to understand how borrowing against one property won’t make for a negative cash flow on that property

I’m currently at 3% on the rate with about $250-290 in equity. We try to increase the rent incrementally but we have found that we are about topped out for our area. The only way I can see using money from this rental is a Heloc, which of course is expensive.

Morning. I’m Ryan, I’m a Fire Captain in central California. I currently have one rental that I bought 14 years ago. I have always wanted to scale the rental side of my life but I can’t figure how to. I can’t seem to figure out how to refi to buy more properties without scratching the profit from the property that is borrowed against. Or how to protect myself from negative cash flow I can’t sustain with vacancies. Short term rentals don’t seem appealing as we homeschool our four kids so free time is pretty limited.
