HELOC can be a good strategy as you can recycle the capital without getting a new loan each time.

We all know we should be careful when the expiration date comes close on a gallon of milk.

Yeah, you get to recycle that money over and over, but you need that large cash position to start. 

If you can learn to do this using the BRRRR method out of state then you'll create a cash recycling machine and you will be able to grow to 100 units through adding value and recycling your capital instead of saving up for a downpayment on each and every door.So, in summary, get your money in play now and you'll be able to learn as you earn. 

My tenant obviously well aware of how to milk the system, requested a hearing by filing an appearance on the "return day", the final day you can.

I try to recycle when I can, LOL.

If you have $30k to work with, you'd be best investing in some way where you can recycle that and get it back as fast as possible via refi.Alternatively, use the $30k to buy something to start building your track record, and then approach family/friends to partner up with.

It’s akin to negotiating for milk at the grocery store.

My first property I paid cash for (130k) was was able to recycle the equity on that to acquire a few more at not much out of pocket.

Cashflow allows you to make it thru the RE 'cycle'.
