Recently pulled HELOC on that primary and used $230K to help buy a 6 Plex and a 9 Plex and invest in a start-up, because the roughly $50k improvements had an ROI on my $600k to appraise well over $1M.I can keep on going, but you get the pic.

Have you ever thought about getting a HELOC and using the equity to start investing out of state?

Any recommendations on where to apply for a HELOC? 

Conventional loan and we just ReFi into a 1st position HELOC.

Haven't refinanced or pulled a HELOC.

If you are struggling with the funds to come up with the repairs, consider getting a HELOC to fund these items. 

I won't be able to get a heloc.

There are Cash, Wraps, Seller Financing, Carrybacks, Contract for Deed, Lease Options and of course, FHA, VA, Conventional loans, HELOCS and commercial among other approaches.

I would like your opinion on whether it would be better than finance the whole purchase with a HELOC from my primary residence or only get the down payment from there and get a traditional mortgage for the rest. 

I could pull a heloc on my existing primary home (in Florida) to purchase the land and use towards the build along with cash (50/50).
