It's a balance between immediate growth and long-term security.

For a HELOC, the property must stay in your personal name, but it is possible to secure one on an investment property.

Any tips or recommendations for securing favorable terms?

I used to work in the area, not personally investing there, but I have helped handfuls of investors secure financing in Dutchess and Ulster counties, I do know it’s seeing some heightened interest from investors due to its proximity to the ever-expanding NYC and relatively lower property prices compared to alternative areas.

This is my security blanket for a dip in the economy (which I believe will hit in 2027).

@Salim HowzeBuilding duplexes on land can generate rental income and secure retirement.

Check out the News Release here.Not only did RentRedi make the top 200 overall, but they also secured the No. 23 spot in the software industry and are recognized as the No. 18 fastest-growing company in New York.

Did you secure more bookings?

Depending on which brokerage you use, you could possibly borrower against your securities holdings with a line of credit (similar to a margin loan) if it's not a retirement account. 30-35% of the balance would likely be within reach, but make sure you FULLY understand margin calls and when they would trigger.

I’ve seen buyers in situations like this secure terms for primary residence use compared to investors.. so it might actually work out in your favor if your buyer wants to live in the home.Funny enough, a friend of mine ran into a similar situation in Austin last year.
