Some will quit, putting a strain on the current staff.

All real estate tech, and I know them all personally, suffer from this so I would really focus on tightening up the system to create less "leads" and better prospects so that delivery is high value.

Investment property HELOCs are a bit tough right now, a lot of banks did tighten that product during covid and they are just now coming back.

Like getting a plumber to check the places and Tighten connections Or... 

I want to help him get out of this bizarre situation and the idea of "I can't" is really mentally straining to me.

99% of real estate agents don't know anything about investing, however, that same 99% of real estate investors don't know what they are looking for when they get started and do make the net too wide by saying things like " find me a good deal" and "I will invest anywhere that cash flows well" so there are errors on both sides.If you haven't narrowed down your towns to 3 or your HOA to be between a certain amount then they might be right, but if you have that all lined up just tighten up what you want and make it easy for them.

@John Bradley - Thanks a bunch for the mention.Hey @Ryan Reynebeau - I'd warn you that you need a good and reputable contractor regardless of the 203k loan or not lol but the 203k loan definitely comes with more paperwork and financial strains on contractors.  

It puts a larger strain on utilities and opens the door for arguments within the couple themselves.

You have to be careful on the area and the appraisers are tightening up a little bit but you can def find some BRRRR opportunities.
