Closing on 1st deal in a month but see other great deals...how?

[Ryan Veil]

Closing on my first deal in April. I have a great broker that is still sending me properties and I found 2-3 more great properties that meet my cashflow requirements. My primary residence is paid off so we have lots of flexibility there in terms of getting a HELOC to finance new deals BUT my processor is telling me I can't start that process till after closing on the first unit. I've tried the Brandon method of asking "why" and "how" but I don't feel like I'm getting the answers I need.

How can I best try to go after these additional deals while still waiting to close on my 1st one? We're trying to get 2-3 properties in 2020.
