Derek, any reason you'd prefer investing in a syndication rather than doing smaller deals and deploying your own capital?

I want to open up the HELOC to have as our emergency fund so I can deploy some of the cash we have saved up right now.

That means in the frothy times, it is harder to find deals that meet my criteria, so less money gets deployed. 

We are looking to put our house up as an AirBnB while we deploy and all of my research hasn't yielded much fruit.

Even when posted abroad, my legal primary residence is always in the United States, similar to military members when they deploy.

So, this wasn't about "insufficient funds", but about an insurance company deploying a trip wire to cancel me.

I am a Army Veteran with a 1 year deployment and currently still serving in the Army National Guard (8 years of service) and as a full time real estate agent.

The cost of changing a light bulb is quite a bit more when you factor in travel time to get across town, vehicle cost, a qualified person on payroll with benefits, overhead cost for the office to deploy that person.

A HELOC might offer more flexibility if you're planning to purchase multiple properties over time, while a cash-out refinance could provide a lump sum that you can deploy immediately.1031 Exchange: If you decide to sell your Corpus Christi property, you might explore a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes.

I am shocked that an increase could come at this scale YOY and am considering deploying the capital elsewhere to prevent any future loss on valuation.Have any other owners in CO or nationally experienced a massive increase like this in 2024?
