I understand that the interest on this HELOC should be tax-deductible, and I have documentation to support the transaction.

With record low inventory and sales transactions there's no low hanging fruit.In this market we think the best opportunities are value-add (BRRRR'ish), zoning changes allowing density (ADUs), or seller financing deals (buy a lower rate).

Prohibited Transactions: Avoid transactions with "disqualified persons" (yourself, family, etc.).Alternatively, consider leveraging a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) to access capital for investments.

They financed 100% of that transaction, and I took on a huge loan - a huge risk for a broke guy like me.

They 30 year track record firm  may now be using social media to pitch their deals right alongside and perhaps even pursue the same transactions as the new age syndicators but the two groups are likely pursuing entirely different LP investors.

Get in contact with a 1031 exchange company during the transaction and roll it into another property perhaps.

It's not hard to understand the disqualified party rules and prohibited transactions. 

Existing-home sales, for example, hit their lowest level in nearly 30 years in 2024, with just 4.06 million transactions.

It’s their full time livelihood to make transactions happen.  

Or is it calculated daily and the base rent increases after 10 days when the late fee hits the account?
