Then, see what the deal is with the dissolution of the HOA.Anyway, that's how I'd tackle it. 

I have several thousand tied up with deposits towards the new property and is leaving me next to broke, while when it goes through I'll be getting $20,000 cash out and can tackle my next 3 deals.

I'm looking at purchasing a small mom/pop storage facility with a ton of value add opportunity and a little stuck on what to tackle first.   

We do it because we see investors and potential investors being misled with statements like:Mortgages are front-loaded and designed to keep you in debtHelocs allow you to tackle the debt faster due to differences in the way the interest accruesThe typical mortgage can be paid down in about 7 years using this strategy (I just explained above why this is an incomplete soundbite)People use these soundbites to sell courses on this topic that you yourself acknowledge are unnecessary.

I find myself learn the most when I’m forced to face and tackle problems.

I almost responded to this when you first posted but it was just too big for me to tackle at the time.

Got some done, somewhat disappointing but at least there was some progress:Cleared quite a few of the mistakes, not all but at least its getting taken care of and in a some weird way it felt good not sure if thats a good thing or not.Saved some money up, trying to complete tackling the rest of my first goal.

Since I am brand new to this I am wondering what would be the best way to tackle said plan.

Found the wood in the trim/moulding section in Lowes and it wasn't visible to the casual viewer unless they got down and looked up under the counter overhang.Next I tackled a really bad caulk job behind the sink and there I found evidence of dry rot that the caulk was covering.

Due to a very involved renovation that I am still tackling on a separate property, it was important to have this deal go through for little to no money down.
