Hi Tilottama, you're on the right path.

One region of the country with natural abundance that offers present and future sanctuary is the Oregon Coast.

There's about 2.5 million agents in the country.

It's making seasonal, MTR, and LTR a lot more attractive or a 1031 exchange as soon as we hit the 2 year mark.Anyone else seeing this in their part of the country?

In my field of work, we collaborate with different tax professional all over the country and I personally have a few favorites with various knowledge and insights!

That $400k property probably has a very short and realistic path to getting to $500k in value.

And I’m not sure but I heard that you have to have 20% of equity in the property before you can take out HELOC, Another thing is that, I’m from another country so I don’t have any family members here to ask for a loan. 

I didn't expect to get so much great, personal advice from such a diverse group of people all over the country.

I would like to get your thoughts/advice on how to proceed so that I can use the collective wisdom to find the best path forward.

@Alan DeRossett California,   I get it but the rest of the country I don't believe has as restrictive regulations or commands higher rents due to those type of improvements.
