I have arranged for Servpro to take a look at the property in person to give me a quote for this job.

I have two phones, one for business and one for personal.

I used $80k to pay off personal debts and $50k to remodel it by myself with my two hands.

Would a HELOC or home equity loan on my personal home be a good idea to fund this?  

However, because I am unable to make trips to scout locations or look at homes in person.

Can this person now be "a real estate" professional? 

Quote from @John Friendas Quote from @Patrick Roberts: If you are on the note or personally guarantee the debt, then it will affect the liability side of DTI, regardless of whether the lender reports the loan on your personal credit.

Although the journey has been worth it, I've sacrificed quite a bit from a personal lifestyle perspective, relationships, etc.

Personally see these laws sweeping the nation..
