.: I’m looking at a property that checks all the boxes—good numbers and fits my buy box—but I haven’t seen it in person.

The only item I would suggest is double check the payment terms of the your HELOC... in particular, can you pay interest only or are you required to pay a portion of principle each month on the amount utilized.

Still no solution yet from them though after I check in every few days.

You can also check out local Facebook pages in the markets you are looking in.

Just make sure you use a very honest agent that doesn't sugar coat anything and check the crime statistics and household income.

Just check the local rules to make sure you’re good to go!

Just be sure to check property taxes, insurance costs, and the local rental market before buying.

Now that you asked, I need to double check that.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.Here is my generic beginner advice.1.
