In your proposed situation, here is what I would do:1) Make sure you have a good/solid/reliable contractor that can actually do the work and has capacity to handle the project.2) Apply for the max HELOC and get it established. 

The property is undoubtedly better than when I purchased it a year and a half ago.I'm looking for creative ideas or solid criticism that I can apply to my situation.

This might reduce the time and resources you spend finding buyers for each deal, which could, in turn, lower your marketing costs and the need for extensive negotiations.Also, to clarify, the exclusive buyer agreement would only apply to the leads/addresses that the buyer provides.

I appreciate the candidness of your approach, I look forward to my review when I apply with you.

One last thought applies to a scenario where there is a lot of equity in the existing home even if the developable parcel is excluded.

HELOCs for investment properties are 2x higher in rate usually due to the higher risk factors placed oon them by fannie/freddie and a more conventional risk assessment is applied when underwritting them.

Imagine if you want to apply to work for large company and you are not using your own name with the same reason that you are afraid someone would threaten you , it's the same concept.

Best strategy would be to run it by an attorney in the state which the contract applies. 

I’m listening to the BRRRR book now and although I can’t apply directly what many of the ideas are concluding there are a few examples like Mike vs Tom scenario where Mike’s career skills transferred to other creative ways of connecting with potential clients.

Then, let me apply the concepts from that post to this specific issue.If you bought an STR in 2024, and it qualified in 2024, you can claim the benefits for 2024.
