Quote from @Juan V Lopez:

I think purchasing with a HELOC is a fantastic idea IF:

1) You are planning to refinance the property immediately after to pay off the HELOC and keep the investment.

2) You are planning to sell the property to pay off the HELOC.

If you are using the HELOC to add value to a property and then use the project proceeds to pay back the HELOC, I think you're in great shape. But I wouldn't use a HELOC to acquire a turnkey property or something where you can't add a lot of equity quickly.

Hope this helps.

 Thank you...that's the plan...

Oh that helps alot

Thanks....I have been studying the market and feel that I need to dive in...its been two years of studying...

Is using a HELOC a good idea to buy my first investment property?

Hello Everyone, 

I have been studying multifamily investing since covid ended my career with Special Olympics. I miss the athletes I have worked with over the years. Needing a new career for my family it's time for me to go after what I have been wanting to do for a long time.  My goal is to own small apartments.  I have excellent credit and resources but don't know how to start. Any information to help me get started like funding etc. will be a great help. Need a mentor will help tremendously.  My family and I Thank you in advance. 

@Johnny Lynum thanks for taking the time to  give me  your valuable  advice  I will look at the podcast.

Hi @Timothy Davis. I was aiming for the 2020 Olympics (Pole Vault) and decided to hone in on my real estate career more fully. I'm sure you'll carry that same passion forward in life with anything you do.

Perhaps you can work for a top operator and work to 'learn' (not earn) in the meantime.

All the best!
