The discussion on LinkedIn has erupted into hearing various opinions as well as strategies surrounding actionable efforts.  

Establish a relationship with an investment-friendly realtor. 

I have other HELOCs that were much easier to get both personally and professionally.

Gordon is the owner, I doubt whether he could completely hide behind his LLC to protect personal liability. 

If you want to establish a long term relationship with someone who lives eats and sleeps creative financing and loan products - I recommend getting in touch with a well-versed broker who manage the relationship and introduce you to competitive products in the market.

Personally, my strategy (in the midwest) has changed over the past few years and BRRRR hasn't been the go-to approach as much.

The person worked for H&R Block, now works for TurboTax Live and is being honest about their skills: NOT QUALIFIED.

I don't know if they still do it but if memory serves a few years ago TD Bank would do a HELOC on a rental in second position but only if it was titled in someone's personal name. 

Assuming that they aren't simply lucky in market timing, excessive in leverage, or excessively risky, why do you think that some companies and leaders ARE able to duplicate the ROI driving expertise and/or improve personal-business productivity in a way that allows scalability?

If you wanted to fund a portion of the down payment would you suggest a hard money lender, personal loan, etc.?
