Bought 5 units on HELOC am I in trouble?
For starters I have a HELOC through my credit union for 130,000
Bought a triplex with a partner paid my down payment of 55,000 in February 2020
Bought a Single family house in kansas cash and paid 34,000 and needs 22,000 in rehab so 66,000 total in March 2020
Bought another single family house cash through a wholesaler with a partner for 33,000 in kansas, 10,000 in rehab My total will be 21,500 with rehab cost.
Both houses will be BRRRR deals
I pretty much maxed out my HELOC
I have about 12,000 in reserves
My home I live in is worthy currently 555,000 and I owe 258,000 on it
Will the credit union call my HELOC due. Freeze it, ask to pay cash on the spot or covert it to a HEL.
I have considered is they do to refinance my current home and blend the HELOC and my current loan together to form one loan.
Also have considered borrowing private money to pay HELOC down so they don't freeze it or call it due.
Any help would Be greatly appreciated!
I know I got way over leveraged way too quickly. I am now thinking of exit strategies to secure my investments I would really like to keep all 5 units which is my plan and I know I can retain them but I want the best plan of action. Thank you guys

That's okay I like to learn and hear honest opinions so I can grow. I agree I do need to stop buying and build cash reserves and pay HELOC down some more and have those two out state properties rented and stabilized. I tend to get obsessed when I get into something new. Being new I have to go through challenges along the way I look forward to going through them so I can pass down that knowledge to someone else
Just a year ago today i was 25,000 in consumer debt and I became disciplined in spending and budgeting and payed it down in 6 months. These past 6 months has allowed me the opportunity to invest in real estate.
