Real estate is fundamentally a very long-term play.

Three of my houses are in a solo401K are only eligible for no recourse. 

Why not do the 5% down home possible loan - it has less fees and solves your problem http://www.freddiemac.com/homepossible/eligibility...

it would be the same exact thing with a HELOC in that once you paid it off hopefully you have some money left over which you could consider is pre paying interest on your next HELOC. but nothing changes the fundamentals of the fact that if you're borrowing money the rate you pay for that money including fees is your cost   for that money

You do have to live in both properties as your primary residence so if you are trying to buy both at the same time this wouldnt be possible unless you and your wife were separated and living in different primary residences but if sufficient time has passed since the first purchase then you could buy another property with her VA eligibility.

@Haresh MelwaniIf you're eligible for a Solo 401k, that will likely be the best option for you.

Also, while the Solo 401k allows for loans too, you'll need to have some self-employment activity to be eligible.

I’m scouring the country looking for a similar case or a legal expert with experience with whether such information is "private" and members who legally obtain it can be forced to keep it secret, or whether a fundamental First Amendment right to free speech might apply, especially where an owner has never signed any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement before or after buying in.Thanks!

Prices are high, expenses are high, and rents are modest so the strategies that can get you enough to live on, to give some examples, might be student housing, higher risk cities with low house prices and poor economic fundamentals, or starting with buying a multi-million dollar portfolio requiring hundreds of thousands or a million+ of down payment. 

That way you would be eligible for FHA Financing.
