just be cautious when it comes to using these. ensure you've got a plan to pay that balance back in a relatively quick fashion as most HELOC rates can fluctuate which could make the numbers suddenly not work. i've leveraged mine in instances where i'm doing a BRRR and i want the deposit for a private money loan. i'm not using it as my downpayment and leaving it out there for a long period of time. 

Any real estate ventures would be things I consider fun where I can participate in some fashion without doing the bulk of the work and I would derive some autonomy, mastery, and purpose goals from.  

There is also one mentioned a lot on this forum that has a long thread that someone shared the investors are wiped out, just not officially because the sponsors are trying to scrape up as much money through capital calls to get back their own money that they provided to the syndication in the fashion of loans. 

My tenants ended up going straight to me because the MC wasn’t dealing with issues in a timely fashion.

@Kim Kelly I love house hacking and have been at it for decades before it became fashionable.

Kory, so if I understand, create trace from HELOC distributions and tie to airbnb activity via receipts or documented transactions for that activity.Example: bought land with HELOC - show date, purchase price, location, account for other HELOC proceeds in similar fashion?

I have dozens of BRRRR's in this market and the biggest key to success here is 1 - finding sources that provide consistent deal flow2 - finding a contracting team that is reliable, communicates well, priced well, works in a timely fashion and most importantly has time for YOU.

We did it the old fashion way by putting 25% down and financing the rest. 

I sent the email three weeks ago and in Wealthabilty fashion, have not heard back from them.
