Hi Jerrell,  The best option for trying to get a HELOC on a property would be to check with local credit unions. 

The key difference, though, was he spent months carefully getting to know the local architecs, reputable builders, and even a couple of niche design firms that specialize in modern builds for mid- to high-end buyers.

If you’re unsure about which specific account to choose, ask a local CPA or banker, since every situation can vary.

I am on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA.

Start by getting familiar with your local market.

I've signed up to my local GaREIA 2 weeks ago and already started networking there. 

Establishing a good local team will be crucial for you. 

As we’re beginning to get a grasp on the scale of the challenges ahead we wanted to highlight a few areas of note and concern that is already influencing the local and national real estate market.

I'm passionate about teaching real estate in underserved communities and helping others build wealth through knowledge.Looking Ahead: I’m seeking local and out of state investors, lenders, and professionals in the Atlanta area for STRs and MTRs, and in Birmingham, Phoenix, Columbus, Macon, and Augusta, GA for long-term rentals and small multifamily deals.Let’s connect if you share my vision for creating real estate that not only generates wealth but also builds lasting, positive change.

Basically, more than a certain amount of STR and MTR in the same building were considered a hotel and I would have had to have 24/7 staff on site.Were you able to get around that with the local municipality?
