Instead of refinancing our properties at the moment will we get HELOC’s for a sense of security and able to pull the trigger on a great deal.

If I ever did anything that triggered capital gains I would probably set 30% aside in a savings account just in case. 

So, I've read quite a bit about real estate over the past few months and I'm really wanting to pull the trigger and get my first rental property soon and was looking for suggestions on where to begin, or if i should buy a primary residence first.A little about me:I currently live in Louisville, KY.

Be sure to pull the trigger on a deal once you're comfortable.

If you are planning on holding down a 9-5, working as a sales agent, and investing you may find yourself pulling out your hair. 

I have an LLC set up and my question is twofold. 1) I understand putting this property into the LLC could trigger the due on sale clause, but my mortgage says it will allow "under certain circumstances" the transfer to another person.

You could sell the note on the open market but it would command a substantial hair cut.So there are really two answers/options.1.

You can move to an LLC later but... you also could potentially trigger a due on sale clause. 

I find the whole deal interesting as I would also think that, if the homeowner still on a mortgage, and they leased, say, part of their backyard to the solar company (maybe roof was not structurally sound, but plenty of southerly yard), it would trigger something like a due on sale clause, as the homeowner has given up part interest in their property, correct?

I understand someone house hacking when they have a guest house or basement apartment with a separate entrance.I just want to make sure you have thought this through before pulling the trigger on this.
