My name is Michael, and I’m excited to join BiggerPockets and dive deeper into real estate investing!

New to the BP forum and joined out of curiosity for a hypothetical scenario.I know everyone's situation is different, and everyone has different needs and priorities within Real Estate.So I was curious on one of the many situations one might find themselves in.In this scenario I wanted to ask if a HELOC on either your primary or an existing rental property out of 4 total properties would be a viable strategy for acquiring practically " turn-key " Multi-Family rentals?

(Only if you are SERIOUS about real estate as your wealth/career vehicle.)Make sure you join a brokerage that is large, established, and has a reputation for top performance and excellent training.Once you learn the basics and get out into the field to see the state of the market, you'll learn the price points and be able to know a good/great deal when you stumble across it.I have made some of my best (most lucrative) buys from meeting with a seller who wants to list, and when we discussed the price, I knew it fit my parameters, so I bought it! 

Hi, I am considering to join an online RE course.

Networking with local investors or joining a real estate meetup group can also help you gain insights and connections.

Feel free to join my facebook group for more chatter on MTR's.

I found a local investing group to join so that I can learn aside from this platform.

I think Rob provides great value in his videos and was wondering if anyone has joined any of his courses before.
