I would suggest considering an investment that could help you pay off the HELOC quickly, given the high interest rates typically associated with them.

Now it makes sense why there is such a wide range of costs associated with turnovers.

The initial inspection may impose additional upfront costs associated with any potential citations.

I'm not sure the premium vs the basic version (I only have premium) but for any property, I can itemize the purchase price, current value, tag the associated mortgage, my assumption on appreciation, its rental income, all of its expenses (including taxes, yearly mainteance, capex, insurance, HOA, property management, depreciation and other), its estimated sale timing/and fees. 

Attend local investor meetups, join local Real Estate Investment Associations (REIAs), join digital groups like LinkedIn and Facebook, and use platforms like BiggerPockets to connect with experienced investors, contractors, and potential partners.

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

Hi @Rocco Garavuso if small multi family is the goal I associate upstate NY with that. 

If you're looking at out of market investments, what annual return do you target to be comfortable with the associated risk?

Along the way, I stumbled upon the BiggerPockets forum and various associated books.
