I'd say start the process of securing your HELOC if you havn't done so and spend time analyzing deals and determining what type of investor you are looking to be. 

I thank you for your time.  

I am unsure how you think this can recover a negative equity position any time soon.  

Wholesalers network and post deals there most of the time.

Again, I used my parents but this time only as lenders of part of the money for the down payment.

Aloha Joshua,  I deal with clouded/messy titles often and it's not my first choice as its froth with a lot of time, costs and risks. 

Next time just give 90 days notice.

Thank you for your time and patience!

I'm planning on buying a small multifamily first and foremost so I have a place to live and then will either buy a single family or another multi family depending on what I can find/fits my criteria at the time.

It’s possible to start small, build experience, and scale over time.
