Partner and I split equity 50/50, with agreed exit strategy.Note: i have experience with design, architectural drawings, construction and property management, etc.

But using it, paying it off, reusing it, that's exactly what a HELOC is designed for. 

Assuming all of the above question's answers are a "no", then go enjoy an adult beverage and relax.  

As a young adult in NYC I am looking to get my foot in the door in the real estate market and would like to know where to start.

The design / construction company that I want to work with quoted me 135K for both projects. 

Along my journey to financial freedom i came across real estate as an investment vehicle to supply my life dreams of being able to attend all my kids games and still have a cash flow able to provide my dream life and goals.Trought my adult life my girlfriend and her family have stood by and watched me  change for the better. loving and supporting us while fighting there own battle.

Involves investing the profits into specially designated economic areas.

This is so important, I designed software based on my system to help me do this right.  

Macs are much more resilient to all the spyware / viruses out there, hence that’s why most viruses are designed to attack Windows (macs security is much stronger).

Never tried any of the rest, but might now that I had to write them out and think about them. 1) Go to every architect, interior designer, top real estate agents/brokers, loan officers in town and shake hands, drop off do-nuts, take them out for coffee/beer and do it regularly. 2) Hit every REI meeting in town and offer to speak at some about the multifamily and spec building process. 3) You may consider joining and participating in whatever local business communities you are in. 4) Offer referral money to subs.
