This will allow me to pursue my goal of hiking the AT from start to finish in 6 months.Year Long goal; to develop the means and methods to buy and manage real estate investments smartly, to find a duplex owned by a "tired" land lord in the Beavercreek and Springboro Ohio area that can be managed more effectively. 3 month goal; to line up a HELOC after interviewing multiple banks/CUs, to establish a well rounded networking group of experts and investors.  1 week goal; to look into different banks/ CUs per week and ask about their terms for HELOC.
