For someone in your position, starting small but strategic might be the best move.

You might consider other strategies, like taking a home equity loan or refinancing to fund repairs, but consulting with a tax professional or CPA would be the best next step for your specific situation. 

Depending on the lender (bank or alt. lender) you have to look at origination fees....points, doc prep, interest rate, frequency draws are allowed/min. draw amount allowed per request, interest payments vs. interest reserve & whether interest reserve is capitalized to fully understand the true cash requirements.

Best of luck!

A continuing resolution continues the pre-existing appropriations at the same levels as the previous fiscal year (or with minor modifications) for a set amount of time.[1] Continuing resolutions typically provide funding at a rate or formula based on the previous year's funding.[3]If you scroll down to 2025, you'll see the government is funded through 3/14/2025. 

The best advice I can give is this: if you weren’t planning on RE would you go to college?

Explore the possibility of doing liability insurance instead, if you don't have much equity it may be your best, and much cheaper option.  

Yes I know people spend hundreds of $ for Best Ever and other meetups just to meet other LPs/GPs, but those are in person meetups where they have to pay for a venue.

Best of luck!

Best of luck to you as you go forward.
