However, this primarily affects a niche market.

I prefer Helocs because I only use as much as I need, I don't mind keeping a balance on my Heloc because interest is using fairly low.

Nobody knows all the answers, even within our niche of real estate taxation.

@Marquis CobbLate to the question here.I assume you either closed on the 60 units or had to let it go by now.I’m located in Greenville SC and that’s my preferred market but will consider other locations in South Carolina.I’m currently a GP on over 1100 units $140AUM most in South Carolina but some in Georgia and North Carolina.If you find something in the future and need a sponsor, please let me know.Thank you,Arn

@Dave Rav It is definitely a niche.

I’d prefer to sell out right (get the higher price from an owner occupant.) and then just move in to a true rental in the same neighborhood.  

I wouldn't want to do a tenant placement myself, certainly not yet unless I had a lot of properties to setup my own company for that, there seems to be a lot of potential liability there related to discrimination accusations, etc and I would prefer to not answer a bunch of questions as the owner, I would rather have someone else do that who is less attached to the property.

There are definitely a litany of different options to get into when you are first starting down, and I find that the most successful investors we work with are very niched down and know their target properties. 

I prefer durability and simplicity over style. 

I personally prefer to be more on the advising and relationship side so I can give my clients more tailored solutions, help them avoid pitfalls, connect them to people that can help them grow and structure their portfolios and I treat this industry more as a relationship business rather than a transactional business.
