Marie, Please keep in mind that when you see people referencing with these funds it's because they are invested in these funds, bought the sales pitch hook, line and sinker and are being told by the operator, "don't worry about the market, we're experienced and conservative so you'll get all your money back and a tidy profit.

There are a ton of tools and resources that not a lot of people know so doing some YT watching and their training helps immensely. also, happy to answer any questions you might have on set up / operations.

Most people that scale also choose one strategy to start with and scale in.

We’ve seen this issue cause otherwise wonderful new builds to sit on the market because it just doesn’t work with peoples furniture. 

Be sure to pay attention to anticipated ARV and max LTV on the refinance, as well as seasoning requirements - this is where I usually see people run into problems.

I know most people are going to tell me not to bother, which is fine, but that's not really my question.  

Would help if you stated what questions you had so people could reply right away.I have knowledge on HELOANs but not direct experience.

I never understood why people would have a flip, boost the value by tens of thousands of dollars, then sell it as opposed to keeping the equity and putting a tenant in there. 

What's really interesting is to see some of them being redeveloped into housing for seniors.Also shopping patterns have changed with work flexibility, so many of these malls don't need as big of parking lots that they once did when people could only shop after work or on weekends. 

Basically you can't have the yard be higher than 6 inches below the window sill (otherwise it would v difficult for people to exit out of this window in case of an emergency).
