Buy and renovate the property and in 6 months do a simple cash out refinance and pull out some cash and start the REI process all over again.I am North of you up in Pinellas County West of Tampa and there are also some great places up here that might save you some cash.

I’m currently going through the process of getting a HELOC and feel confident we’d be able to fund a purchase using that but using PML has ultimately been a goal of mine and would like to incorporate it into one of these purchases if possible. 

I’m happy to guide you through the process, share some success stories, and help you avoid common rookie mistakes.
