I have decided to look into a heloc, I'm a bit newer into realest state investing, I have completed a couple of fix%flips this year, I currently use hard money for the purchase with 10% down and I cover 100% of the rehab, with that said even just doing a couple of homes at a time, I find myself around 200k out of pocket, I think it would be a bit easier on myself and wife if we utilized a heloc vs just cash, my primary should appraise around 1.1m and my mortgage is 640k, I'm looking at pulling about 250k for a heloc, I don't want to refi the home and cash out as I only want to pay interest on funds as I use them ( I know I won't always be using the heloc cash) Any advice or even knowledge for people in a similar situation, and anyone have a referral for a Heloc?

No one in my family really does real estate except for my mom which rents in PR and a couple houses in Dominican Republic but these were things that happened by chance (DR houses were inherited and PR was our primary residence when I was little) ...  

This is a really well done explanation, especially with the specific examples. 

For context, I have $80k in liquidity and $1m in equity in my primary residence so working on opening a HELOC and plan to add multiple properties each year through the BRRRRR method.

I cannot qualify for traditional conventional for multiple reasons but the over 200 to 1 debt to income ratio is a primary reason.  

Your primary insurance policy with $300,000 in liability coverage should be sufficient in 99.999% of all lawsuits.5The best protection for you and your investments?

The main property will be my primary residence.My biggest question is, what kind of foundation would you use, (that is to code and will pass inspection/permits in Charlottesville) that is either relatively easy DIY or cheap to outsource.

Quote from @Kevin Zmick: When a property doesn't rent, there are two primary reasons: the price is too high or your marketing isn't reaching the right audience.If your REALTOR listed it in the MLS, then it's probably syndicated to the best websites and you're casting a wide net.

And why is it that every single home - whether its a rental cabin or primary residence - doesn't have to have a sprinkler system?
