For example, this investor that I met recently said not to buy properties at tax auction for 100+ different reasons.

Great for someone looking to buy their first investment property. 

(if the buyer wants a more solid commitment)Once a buyer has spent money they are somewhat vested in buying the property and that gives additional negotiating power to the seller.

I am a buy and hold investor.

You can take out a lot of complexity when you buy property that only needs maye paint & carpet.

If you buy a hot water heater for the other unit, you can write off 100% because you have no personal use of that hot water heater. etc.

Or only buy something for $350K and pay tax ont he $100K difference.

We have looked at these loans in the past that they did have but decided against buying because they did not fit our buy box but there are investors out there who would buy whatever is left of their assets. 

HELOC is usually a good option for something short term, you, don't really want to buy a long term rental property on a HELOC.
