@Rene Hosman all good options! 

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

I'm open to helping you explore your options.

Yes, you can expand (and SBA has some great options for that), but the basis for a strong expansion is really understanding how the business works.

Does this really work and how do you make the strategy viable?

I always thought the "worst" part of it were the relatively low returns, and I see why that is not very appealing to newer investors, but I definitely see it as a viable option for investors who already have exposure and are looking for something that is less hands-on.

- Viable example.- Not currently.

You won't be considered a viable buyer and not allowed to bid.

If you are using it to buy a turnkey property which needs to produce cash flow to be considered a viable deal how does buying turnkey(Little to no cash flow) combined with HML(High interest only debt) make alot of sense financially? 

That is the most realistic and viable path for the vast majority.
