Hello,I'm looking at opening up a HELOC on my primary residence to use as seed money to start investing.

These will allow you to have a value add play with the ability to minimize the amount of seed capital stuck in a property (or even a quick exit with lease options).

I guess the decision is do I want to pay taxes on the seed or the harvest. 

We live on a couple acres with plenty of room to do a bit of farming.I've got several Deere's already, I'd need a little stockpile of fuel and a nice selection of seeds and I'm in business.If the economy really goes to pieces and things start really going down hill, I'm pretty sure I could trade potatoes or corn for Gold or Silver all day long (not that I would though).Food, Water and Ammo would be King, no contest.

(BTW kudos to rich for planting this seed in my head - this is one of his favorite deductions)I figure it would be wise to acquire maybe some ski resort property and beach property, among other locales.

However, I want to make a sum of seed money first to then be able to reinvest into properties that I will be holding for CF.

From there I was able to leverage it by living frugally and have seed money.While there is lots of information on how to invest with little or no money down.

We probably need a better description of the area but could you remove any fences and paths then cover with dirt and seed?

If you're making $500 per month vs. losing $500 per month it's a $1K swing that could seed (or accelerate) you next property purchase.  

Through this club I have made connections with a professor who generously offered up to $50,000 in seed money to fund my first real estate deal.
