We rehabbed the entire property and added an additional bedroom to each of the units.

Feel free to share updates or ask additional questions.

Additionally, those forced to relocate due to the fires should update their address with the IRS to ensure they continue to receive relevant communications.

I think what @Garrett Brown is getting at is using this in addition to other methods.

Thanks for spotting that additional "real property" question. 

A less then full investigation may result in one thinking that the house and or the house and tennis court lots were what was being sold.As I later found out, a newbie tax lien investor thought they were getting a great bargain by outbidding other misinformed investors and paying the back taxes, legal fees, and an additional $34,000 (overage) which the county forwarded to me.  

The plan is to use the heloc to purchase additional properties, and basically brrrr and pay back the balance - then repeat.What I didn't realize is how difficult it is to find a business heloc.  

Did you find any additional help or learning concerning over-the-counter tax line investing for Texas?

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

Do you have additional capital to add?
