You're netting $5k/mo and have no cash available and you're working a civil engineering job?

I hate to say this, but if you want to get a job with Yardi as the main software, you will need to start at the entry-level accounting.

It will also allow you to focus more of your time and resources in the actual real estate vs. raising capital which usually leads to poor real estate acquisition and operational decisions because raising capital is your full time job leaving an inadequate amount of time for the real estate.OK, chasing 32unit apartments, acquisition priced between 3.2M - 4.8M.  

Every flip is like peeling back layers of an onion, but this one came with tears, sweat, and the occasional scream into the void.

Quote from @Pranav Patel: Hello,I'm 22 years old with roughly $50k saved up through part time jobs and internships.

That 2nd requirement is  what makes it close to basically impossible with a W2 job.

@Amir PortalFort Worth (Southside): Affordable entry points with growing rental demand due to development and school proximity.Arlington: A solid mix of price points and strong rental potential, especially near UT Arlington or entertainment districts.Focus on areas with rising population growth, job opportunities, and low vacancy rates.

All good, he got the job and started on May, 10, 2018.To make a long story short. 

HELOCs are fine, but keep in mind that you really only want to use 50 percent of less (each) of your available equity just so you aren't creating a problem that you can't solve later if the value of your personal residences fluctuates.If you both have W2 jobs though, have you looked into getting qualified together and just getting a loan, 10 percent down each?

Nice Job!
