Hello Everyone,Does anyone know of a lender who can provide a 1st lien HELOC on a 2 unit rental property?

Meaning educating and providing resources is complimentary to his own investing. 

If you don't trust your agent enough to tell you not to buy a house, then get a new agent!

I wish the Department of Health would accept private provider plan reviews for septic tank permits.  

Use an agent to help you get qualified tenants and documentation in order.

Some lenders don’t allow HELOC funds for down payments, so check with your hard money and DSCR loan providers first.

Just to provide one example: I took a business meeting with someone who was looking for funding for a new subdivision development.

To get those hours, maybe turn one or two into medium term rentals (you want the average stays to be over 7 days so they don't fall into STR status) which would give her more to do, particularly in the first year of furnishing them and getting everything set up.Alternatively, she maybe she could manage the properties but also get her RE license and try to sell a house or two a year - go to lots of open houses or run them for other agents?

@Frank Mongiello is a great resource for a real estate agent in Central Florida and South Florida.

What you want is an agent with experience who knows how to negotiate, watch your back, navigate difficult situations, understand contracts and law, provides an objective cross-check, etc.
