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!

You may want to get in touch with @Sharon Vornholt who has done a lot of marketing in this niche.

If the rents are already nearing market rates, will she be able to go up that much? 

Also, has anyone had more success with inbound marketing—using PPC, PPL, or other methods?

Happy to connect and work with anyone trying to expand their business.I am working on building an industrial portfolio of my own - consistently searching and analyzing deals.My main market is Southern California, but I am slowly expanding my lens across the US.Ronald Rhode and Chad Griffiths are the best content creators in the space hands down. 

For me, it has to be a data-driven decision: what is your current NOI, what would be if you replaced the boiler, how much will it cost, and how long will it take to get your money back...If the area and marketing don't warrant central air, I would NOT do conensors right away and just focus on the forced air.

Market forces are pushing and pulling but not a source of anything breaking.

Quote from @Michael Ewers: Hey y'all, Wondering what is the best marketing strategy for obtaining off market leads?

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

@Mark Towey I don't "farm" areas personally, it doesn't really fit the niche I'm personally going after, but what I have heard from some major agents in my market lately is that farming is not near as productive as it used to.
