Got the approval!

[Shannon X.]

After a bit of studying and being on the forums and reading, we finally went to a few banks and got approved for a 500K HELOC. Now that step 1 is pretty much done, should we just jump right into looking for a property? We have our targeted locations and price range (as we are not going to use all the funds). I have been checking out the MLS as I have access to it, but not too many properties show up recently. I have also checked with local laws and the use of bandit signs are "illegal" so for now I do want to stay away from that. My main goal/question now is what kind of marketing should I use to find my first property?

Thanks!
