Hope through this resource you are able to achieve your goals in Real Estate Investing.

Besides reading and listening to podcasts, my wife and I attend a local real estate investor meetup that has been extremely beneficial. 

Hey everyone,I’ll keep this short and would love to hear from investors who have successfully leveraged a HELOC to scale their real estate portfolio for both short-term cash flow and long-term wealth building.I’m about to unlock $200-250K in HELOC from my primary residence (a condo in NYC), and I know there’s a powerful strategy I can implement.My current plan:✅ Acquire a 10-15 unit multifamily in a mid-sized market (AL, TN, OH, etc.), targeting a $700-800K deal with value-add potential.✅ Use 20% from my HELOC for the down payment and finance the rest with hard money.✅ Force appreciation over 6 months, then refinance into a DSCR loan to pay off the HELOC.✅ Rinse and repeat!

@Matthew McleanBigger Pockets is a great place to find an accountant specializing in real estate taxation.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

@Anthony Klemm here's copy & paste info that hopefully answers your question(s):--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Real Estate Crash of 2008-2010 caused real estate prices to crash across the country - but didn't affect rent amounts.

I am not from real estate background and have been referred to bigger pockets by friends.

Are you a real estate professional?

While many of these partnerships can be fruitful, some turn out to be less successful, with unfortunate outcomes that could have been prevented with proper planning and safeguards.For instance, we recently encountered a case involving an investor, or "money partner," who contributed $650,000 to a real estate deal facilitated by another investor, the "developer."

@Ethan Cole are you able to recommend a good Real Estate Attorney?
