I’m currently repairing my credit and studying up on different methods, so I don’t think this would be an option for me right now but I’d love to find out more to keep it as a potential option int he future.

Also, are there any local meetups happening in the near future that you are aware of?

We've also paid our primary residence down so we could get a HELOC for future investments.

I will share where I am today financially and what are my future Real Estate Investing goals are.

The Clerk of Court does not express or imply as to the warranty, condition, marketability, existing or potential uses, title, outstanding liens, mortgages or other encumbrances, zoning regulations or laws that may affect current or future uses of the property, or regarding any structures or fixtures thereon offered for sale by the Clerk.

I definitely need a good RE agent in the future.

Is that a realistic expectation on future rents? 

You could take a dated picture of your future property on the first and use it to protest in May.

I think if you were as good of a tenant as you say, if you can get your landlord to write a letter attesting to that fact, it can't hurt and can only help with future potential landlords. 

The only logic of the Heloc I was thinking was that I'd still have access to it as it was paid down for future improvements or usage towards another property.
