so you're already ahead if you can save while you progress.the market is really challenging right now. 

@Jai JaniIf they sell and you have clear title and title insurance you should be protected but I also would run it by an attorney ahead of time as well.

Hi Julie,A lot of lenders don't like to do HELOCs on investment properties but I would click on the lenders list that BP offers and see if you can find one there that may do this.

I guess my follow up question is (and I know I’m getting ahead of myself) what is the “move” afterwards?

Both Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase have their own brokerages now in house that can handle that, so you just point and click to move the cash.

Then, go ahead and bid on a property.

If you start doing your own projects in your mid to late 20's you'll be ahead of 90% of the RE investors I know, including myself.

those who are looking for a move in 2 weeks ahead of time are those who haven't found a place yet or people who have to move (eg being kicked out of their old place for not paying rent).  

But did hire a mold remediation company and there is definitely mold there, estimate is 10k, time is of the essence so I asked my property manager to go ahead and remediate. 

There is truly no easier way for the average American to get ahead.
