@Clay Hall, I like a HELOC on my primary residence as an emergency fund, and wish I’d had that extra money when I got started, simply as reserves.  

@Sam TrightThe agreement with the lender most likely will forbid you from selling any part of the loan, and if you did those funds would be to pay off the loan.As an example if you had a note worth $30k and lender gave you $15k, if you sold a partial for $20k the lender would require you to pay off the loan.Also most partial agreements also explicitly state the loan is not leveraged.

Landlord’s only option to collect funds for damages is to take tenants to court.More and more tenants are only having a portion of their rent covered by S8, so landlords need to still screen S8 applicants for portion they must pay.Landlord cannot charge S8 tenants a portion of shared utilities – which can lead to the infamous tales of tenant retaliation against landlord by blasting heat on high with open windows during winter.S8 caseworker response times can be very slow, as they are usually overworked & underpaid.Again, overall it’s a pretty good deal for a landlord that does some decent screening.Exposing Section 8 Housing | Tenants From hell 243 - YouTubeLiberals Blame this Eviction on Landlord Despite the Before & After Footage | Tenants From Hell 241 - YouTubeMy first Baltimore buy & hold investment - SOLD (Lessons learned) (biggerpockets.com)Besides MANY self-labeled "gurus" exaggerating their success, many of them just supply readily available info.If you're too busy to find the info and are willing to pay for it, no problem as you accept their time vs money solution.REGARDING S8 GURU ISSUES SPECIFICALLYMost of them don't share all the facts about how Section 8 actually works.They claim you can get HIGHER rent from S8 tenants vs private-paying tenants.Why would the government allow our tax dollars to be spent this way?

39211 is north east jackson and I funded quite a few retail flips in that zip code. but really not sure why anyone would buy there..

@Ian Ippolito  you may want to get on Ian's mailing list  he is wicked smart and does very deep dive's into crowd funding and other syndicated investments then writes reviews on them..  

Mt funds are limited.  7K is needed for my first long term rental.

I’m in the mag industrial fund and I would invest again… which I did in the mag Broadview in San Bernardino area by the college.

Our initial plan was to hold it as a MTR (medium term rental) but decided to flip instead in order to fund the purchase of our new primary residence.

What would be the best use or strategy with a 75K HELOC to fund an investment property? 

Can't speak to the organization in Michigan but generally the benefits of a well run STRA far outweigh the costs.I am a property manager in Hawaii so we are constantly being hit with new anti-STR legislation and have a large, well-funded hotel lobby to deal with constantly.
