This would imply AA has an effective tax rate of ~3.5% for an investment property 

Here once you start passing $1500 in rent your pool is getting pretty shallow. 

There is a 30 year conventional loan product that only requires 5% down, which is great to use with this strategy.Are you focusing on investing in Bangor specifically?

What kind of investment strategies have you been considering?

@Amir PortalRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

DSCR can cash out 80% even on 2-4 units, but I was referring to OP's request for HELOC on investment properties To further clarify my previous post: 80% LTV HELOCS on investment properties are available on single family homes, 75% LTV HELOCS on investment properties are available for 2-4 units. 2nd position?

@Jordan BrownWith $50,000 saved and no debt, you have a strong starting position for real estate investing.
