Agreed with Account Closed - putting real estate, or a real estate partnership - within an S-Corporation provides effectively no value, while creating significant headaches and tax consequences.The only real benefit left for an S-Corp is partial shielding of employment taxes - but a rental property already doesn't produce any self-employment taxes, so the one benefit already doesn't apply to the rental.Then you have problems with not getting basis in the debt of the property, having a lack of flexibility on future structure, issues with distributions in excess of basis...just nothing about it is good.If the Partnership hires a property manager, and that property manager ends up being your S-Corp - great, now you are perhaps better managing your exposure to self-employment income as a result of these property management fees. 

Some are more flexible and willing to do 75%-ish, but 70% is a good rule of thumb.

If you have some flexibility there are great beaches not far from there that would do much better.

Each option has its pros and cons that can impact your investment strategy and overall success.HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit)Pros:Lower Interest Rates: HELOCs typically offer lower interest rates compared to hard money loans.Flexible Terms: You only pay interest on the amount you draw, providing flexibility in how much you borrow and when.Revolving Credit: As you pay down the principal, the available credit replenishes, allowing you to use it for multiple projects.Longer Repayment Periods: HELOCs often have longer repayment periods, which can make managing payments easier.Cons:Qualification Requirements: HELOCs require good credit and sufficient equity in your primary residence.Secured by Your Home: Your primary residence is collateral, which means a default could risk your home.Variable Interest Rates: HELOCs often have variable rates, which can increase over time.Hard Money LoanPros:Easier Qualification: Hard money lenders focus more on the property’s value and potential rather than your credit score.Speed of Funding: Hard money loans can be approved and funded quickly, which is beneficial in competitive markets.Flexible Use: These loans are designed for real estate investments, making them suitable for purchase and renovation costs.Cons:Higher Interest Rates: Hard money loans typically have higher interest rates and fees compared to HELOCs.Short-Term Loans: They usually come with short repayment terms (often 12-24 months), requiring a quick turnaround on your project.High Fees: Origination fees and other costs can add up, increasing your overall project expenses.For a BRRRR strategy, a HELOC might be the better option if you qualify and have sufficient equity in your primary residence.
