However, I am looking at doing this "part" time for the immediate future and am wondering if there are some advantages to wholesaling that I may not be thinking of - especially as it relates to building a wholesaling business on the side.

Good luck on your future investments!

Also, is it possible to use HELOCs toward down payments and still take out a mortgage on future properties?

Knowledge is tool which help you to grow in your future. 

I am a disabled veteran with a small amount of capitol and not much of an income to get anymore in the near future.

Hope every thing goes great with these properties and maybe we can connect in the future!

Happy to connect more to bounce ideas and potentially work together in the future.

My goal with REI is that financial freedom and control over my future.

Hello all,I'm looking at purchasing  property (Duplex) which is on a 4,000 sq foot lot and zoned T6-8According to Miami21 the minimum lot size for any sort of zoning always requires  lot size being 5000 sq foot minimum.Per T6-8 zoning density I should be able to have 4 units on this land and that would be my goal in the future. 

Our plan is to find a duplex at a decent price so we can House Hack,  preferably a property with the potential to add value and resell in the future.
