Working with Ron Rowan, we achieved a rewarding outcome on this well-planned investment.

Adjust return based on holding time and risk reward.  

Take over the rent to own agreement from the existing tenants, or something else?

Hypothetically, you'd need >2K rent on a 250K home to get more than 5% CoC (ballpark numbers with a few assumptions, mgmt fees, putting 30% down, etc), and it seems very unlikely this would exist where I'm looking..

In return for excellent service I'll be offering repeat business and I'll happily provide referrals to my existing investor network for those top performers. 

Someone else may say its free money and let it ride, so invest it in something super high risk and high reward and if I win they I win but if I lose it all I lose it all. 

I need to examine other financing options for our existing properties.

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?

Throughout my journey I've come to terms with the fact that this is going to take many years of failures before I will be able to see a little bit of reward.

You mention going on title and taking over the loan - is there an existing mortgage?
