Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Mark Daniels: I know in residential lending you can get a HELOC to borrow a down payment to buy another property.

Jeffrey:I'm connected to a large group in Indy that focuses on buy & hold SF and apartment (commercial) residential real estate. 

I’ve worked across various sectors of real estate, from residential to commercial properties, and I’ve built a solid foundation in sourcing, evaluating, and negotiating deals.Currently, I am leading R&H Capital, a division of my LLC, Property Pulse LLC, which focuses on raising capital for real estate acquisitions.

Beal Real Estate helps our clients find the best commercial and residential off market and listed deals available.

If a piece of residential real estate is compliant non-conforming you should be able to use it like any residential real estate. 

If you can get a better primary residential HELOC rate than you can a hard money bridge loan I would say yes.

My name is Omar Santander a new investor that is interested in residential units (single-family and multifamily, with a particular emphasis on multiunit), house hacking, long-distance investing, BRRRR and mid/long-term rentals.

When it comes to real estate, here's a general list of eligible assets and their depreciable lifespans that you should know: Residential Rental Property = 27.5 yearsThis includes any building or structure where 80% or more of its gross rental income is from residential units.That means:- Apartment buildings- Single-family rental homes- Duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes- Mobile homes (used for residential rental)- Any kind of residential lodging facility where the primary purpose is long-term rentalCommercial Property = 39 yearsThis includes non-residential properties like:-Office buildings-Retail stores and shopping centers-Warehouses-Industrial complexes-Hotels and motels that do not qualify as residential rental propertyLand Improvements = 15 yearsThese include sidewalks, roads, fencing, some landscaping, and parking lots that are separate from the building.Personal Property = 5 or 7 yearsPersonal property used in a rental activity usually has a 5 or 7-year life.This includes most furniture, appliances, carpeting and various machinery.Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) = 15 yearsGenerally, this includes any improvements made to the interior of a non-residential building after the building was placed in service, excluding elevators, enlargements, and the internal structural framework.Computers and Related Peripheral Equipment = 5 yearsVehicles = 5 yearsNote that the land itself is not depreciable.

I’m a prior realtor, with wholesaler experience and have done some buy and holds in residential properties.

If you purchase in a anti-landlord state, you'll likely have a harder time and deal with extended timelines if the need to evict comes up.
