Quote from @Victor Yang: Hello all,I am looking to buy an apartment building.

Personally, If I could pull out a HELOC, I would use it to fix and flip which will typically make sense as you shouldnt be keeping the money out for that long and you can recycle it or pay it back and build off the capital that you got from. the flip.

I personally like to buy in towns/neighborhoods in which no new builds are possible within 10 miles because all the land is developed.

If anything just buy motivating buyer lists or VA until you build your own buyers list.
