Hey everyone! I just got approved for a 177k HELOC. I live in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and I am trying to learn as much as I can before I dive in to my first investment property. Originally I was planning to invest in Louisiana where I am from and try the BRRRR strategy where the housing is much cheaper than Colorado. Now I am leaning towards doing a house hack near where I live since I still have a full time w2 job. Looking for any and all suggestions. Thanks for reading!-James

Hi everyone! Wanted to introduce myself. My name is James, and i am just beginning my real estate investing adventure. I'm from Baton Rouge Lousiana and that is where i will be investing. I currently own a home and live in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. My plan is to take out a HELOC in the next month so that i have cash on hand when the right deal pops up. I have been binge-listening to bigger pockets podcast starting with episode 1. Right now im on episode 14 and im hooked. Im wondering if this is the logical way to start learning since those episodes are 10 years old... probably not as relevant as the current ones, but they sure are enjoyable. Thanks Josh and Brandon!

Cheers!

James
