FINISHED MY FIRST ONE THIS WEEK ON TO THE NEXT, QUESTIONS

Brett Wells

My name is Brett, I have been a fan of bigger pockets and listen everyday to the bigger pockets podcast and bigger pockets money, absolutely love it.  I set a goal for myself to obtain a buy in hold property in one year, did it in 6 months.. We did a complete renovation turned a 1 bed 1 bath in two a 2 bed 1 bath, took it clear to the bones add new electrical, new plumbing, with all the great updates in 8 month turn around. We bought it for $100,000 and gain $80,000 equity once finished.  It sits on 1/2 acre and the plan is to do a lot split and move another sfh on the property in the back.  Moving forward I recently came across a deal down the road similar deal .47 acre sfh 1bed 1bath asking 140,000 but been on the market for over 70days. I've walked thru it has a lot of potential.  1bed 1bath house.   My question is I've done some reading and curious on which loan to go with a personal line, heloc, or commercial? If I were to purchase the house needs a little clean up and new roof that's about it, thoughts were to make it live able to pay the mortgage. Future build two houses or duplex, it is also labeled multi family.

I would like any input and thought thank you

Hi Brett, I would go with a HELOC if you can, it should be easier to get and with lower rates than a commercial loan. Then refinance it once you're finished and move on to the next one!
