Mind you, this person is damn near 50 years old so they should know better!

First thing that comes to mind is a mentor but have not had any luck Also I have over 900k in equity across the portfolio, Is there a way to use the properties as collateral for a HELOC across the portfolio instead of individually?

They absolutely can be a good private lender with your best interests in minds can jumpstart your RE career.
