I believe fixing a home without living in it will be much faster and easier but I don't want to take on an auction house right off the bat and I wanted to start small using the money I made off selling my house to complete my first project.

i will run it through my spreadsheet, but my thought was to use cash for the purchase since it would be faster (albeit it would wipe out a large chunk of available capital = unsettling). 

Are there shorter term vesting periods than 6months for HELOCs? Live in AZ.

Purchased primary with decent cash down, remodeled and have comps to support a decent pull of equity into liquidity for REIs.

Thank you in...

Also, I'd probably focus on a couple non-judicial states (faster FC) and a couple judicial states.  

The reason you flip first is it's a faster way to building cash on a continuous basis that you will use to buy holds.  

The taxes went up faster than the rents (until the hurricanes).

The article above suggests that rents are increasing faster than prices, which would lead to increasing cap rates.

I would recommend wholesaling to build up your cash much faster!  

I even got a coach to learn faster and that was just the right call for me. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/432/topics/30...

I want to max out my ROTH and use the SDIRA to "cover" the rest so my ROTH builds a little faster.
