Take a look at what markets you are planning on starting in and make sure it is a growing market where the appreciation is obvious. 

However, I'll take a stab here.What town should be easier to manage?

Is there a reason you aren't willing to do your own diligence and invest on your own and choose to knowingly take a worse deal through a TK provider?

I got approved for a HELOAN on my primary property but not sure if I should take the loan to just use as “leverage/reserves” to show the HML and get funded.

What I view view as a blunder, other may not.

Alternatively, your sibling might use a 1031 exchange to defer taxes by reinvesting in like-kind properties, though this doesn't directly fund a primary residence.Other ideas include leveraging a HELOC on the rental properties for the down payment, taking out a 401(k) loan, structuring an owner-financed agreement, or a lease-to-own arrangement.

Just need to take action.

Hello everyone my name is Omar I’m 24 ,just recently came across wholesaling  and I started doing some research on it and it seem like it’s the best option for me now to get my foot on the door and eventually start doing flips down the road. since I’m new to wholesaling and barely know anything about it what books, YouTube chancel, podcasts, even a course that might help me get on track and learn the fundamental of wholesaling.I always come across some type of strategy of real estate that I might consider to pursue but I never end up staying consistent and taking action but my goal is just to learn about wholesaling and find a way to take action now.

They take two years to build these and then factor in the new market pricing to essentially ride the appreciation wave.
