If I have several options, I would prefer a HELOC with no initial draw requirements (i.e. to establish a literal line of credit that I have no specific short term plans to use), i.e. not something like the better.com HELOC. 

I’m trying to keep things moving, but this $20K requirement is throwing a wrench in my plans.

I plan to live in it and then rent it out in a year. 

I believes that well-planned real estate investments can open the door to financial freedom and generational wealth.Welcome!

Just keep in mind that using that emergency fund to buy your next property and having tapped a HELOC already may leave you in a bad spot if you run into a similar problem again.Also, I’m not 100% sure, but I have heard that personal loans don’t your credit more so than other types of debt so be sure you look into that if you go the personal loans route and then planned to finance your next purchase soon after.

I had been dealing with them for several months due to the development of plans for a property I own.

They can offer valuable insights into the local market, potential rental yields, and specific considerations for a rehab project like the one you're planning.

I was planning on searching here today to see if I can find any meetups in our area.

I am getting started in real estate investing soon, and I want to plan for the best course of action.

The replacement property and planned improvements must be identified within 45 days and completed within the 180-day exchange period.
