Would a HELOC or home equity loan on my personal home be a good idea to fund this?  

i wouldn't tell you where you should move since i don't know you.also, a lender would be in the best position to advise whether you qualify for a specific loan. 

You've got to include loan pay down, appreciation, and depreciation in your return calculations.The point of cash flow is to keep you safe.

I have researched the different kinds of loans for this but I would love to speak with any lenders or other investors in this area. 

They're cheap to purchase/install too. 

Plus, multifamily often appreciates faster in growing markets.Challenges: It’s a steeper learning curve—financing is trickier (think commercial loans), and you’ll need to understand occupancy rates, maintenance costs, and tenant turnover on a bigger scale.

Somewhere in the middle is likely your best bet for a 20 year timeline.I have almost 50 units here myself and that's about what my portfolio is cash flowing at this point combined LTV is around 65% as loans have gotten paid down and values have went up.

Thank you.I've personally bought and sold over 15 properties, was a Realtor in Texas for 5 years, and a loan originator for almost 10.

$600 a month wouldn't be enough for me and serial refi costs money, generally loan time also.
