Quote from @Leslie L Meneus: Building Connections & Looking for Guidance in Real EstateHi everyone!

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?

File for eviction in court.There are many ways to skin the cat, as discussed in my book.

Private lenders or even creating a small syndicate with a group of investors might also be worth exploring, especially since you can point to your uncle’s track record and your own experience managing rentals as a selling point.If timing is tight, you could look into a bridge loan to secure the property while figuring out a more permanent solution.

Are you looking for multifamily or single family home?

Seacoast has a mix of those, especially in towns with younger populations, think Dover, Newmarket, Somersworth, Sanford, Biddeford.

I am currently an Asset Manager for Multifamily Deals as my W-2 job and looking to buying my first deal in College Station/Bryan Area.Anyone I can connect with to pick their brain on different investing strategies? 

Looking to choose my market near Atlanta, GA.

Another thought, with you being in construction, at some point you might want to look at building homes or multi families.
