@James DeRoest, I reckon couples who are BOTH on board with the idea of a revolving HELOC on their own home, specifically for the purpose of investing in value-for-money properties only, are likely to end up being able to retire on their passive income - sooner* than you!

My thought is that if I had a revolving line (rather than an installment mortgage) I may be able to tap into my equity more easily.

A lot of the factoring in where people are investing mainly revolves around you.  

Cam someone offer advice about wholesaling in Mississippi?

So, if anyone else is interested, guess they can get the same book and post question in the forums, I'll bet Phillip cam answer them correctly too in short order!

There are a couple of guidelines I've found on the internet that some may use which both revolve around price to rent index (or vice versa).One says if annual rent is >9%, you should buy instead of rent.Another one says if purchase price is 15 times or less the monthly rent, it's better to buy.I've incorporated this into a table along with our own % rule metric investors look at.I'm using purchase price of $100k for easy of figuring.  

I'm looking for additional lenders to meet with that will do a revolving line of credit, so that I can purchase, rehab, place a tenant, then refi to a more long term type of financing.  

I would assume that's also because Green Bay does not see that kind of revolving door of people that Atlanta does.

Salesmanship is the manipulation of thinking, it works, but it cam also be over done, too much can kill any deal.

Just yesterday I was talking to a sales representative for Nest and he shared with me he installs his own thermostats, smoke/co detectors, and drop cams in places that he rents.
