Getting started on my REI journey

[Jefferson Harmon]

I am so excited to start this journey to financial freedom. I am also very lucky to have stumbled upon BP. My question for you all is this: I am in the process of getting a HELOC for my primary residence. If I cannot get enough to do the entire purchase plus rehab, should I try to get a hard money loan to cover the whole thing? I don't want to decrease my cash flow with two payments. TIA.
