The remaining would be paid to them as we sell off the homes built.

Most Heloc rates right now are around 7.75% to 10% so if you look at your blended rate between your fist and Heloc you would be better off doing a cash out refinance.A lot of people forget or simply do not know that if you do a cash out refinance the rate does go up but in 12 to 24 months if you do a "rate and term" refinance you can get it back down fairly close to where it was at prior.

I'm also starting off my own personal investment property journey with my husband. 

For example, it may be 20% off (retail only not on price discounts/clearance unless specified) but then 3% CC payment fee or ACH fee. 

I have many investors with the same goals and want to be hands-off. 

Who do you recommend for one off property intel.

I priced an off-grid home when there were none sold in over six years.

You must be pretty good friends - most veterans (including myself) would never let a non-veteran assume their loan b/c the VA loan entitlement is not restored until that loan is paid off.  

But you also get 15% off any paid plan.

Off course the rates were hiked 2 times since the post.
