They took our appraisal fee and our application fee and shut the door in our faces.

@Michelle SharkoAnswering questions in step by step fashion:- Is it a good thing to do or not is a personal finance decision and it depends on the person asking it, their risk tolerance which in part has to do with how this HELOC or line of credit works and how your personality fares relative to taking on new debt (a person more adverse to debt might have sufficient savings and temperament to pay down/back the debt versus a financially liberal person might get in over their skii's as).

It's hard to say if they do or do not appreciate faster.  

If you have the time and energy it takes to wholesale, then that can be a good idea to build some capital and get your foot in the door. 

I’ve been investing in Columbus, Ohio, for the past year and currently have 4 doors.

Any decent Contractor can generally buy products for much less than you anyway, and even if you find a special deal on, let's say, Doors and Windows...who is going to take charge of delivery, unloading, storage, security, warranty and all that?

I thought it was worth less, but I want to open a door with this client to potentially get more of his resi props.

Have a few doors in southern AB, but always looking for a few new deals.
