I made minor improvements (5k) to get it rented within 30 days of closing (East Providence) and it cash flows for about $700/mo.I couldn't do the full BRRR at the time because I used all my funds for the 20% down and wasn't comfortable at the time to do hard money lending.I'd like to invest in multi family's in RI but now wondering the best next steps. 

I've found that I'm usually pursuing a rate and term refi at about year two after I've made improvements etc. and between appreciation and mortgage paydown I'm at the better LTV anyway. 

Can he file a quit claim deed to add me to his title and then I apply for a HELOC on the PA property so we can make improvements and buy an investment property?

Wait, improve your credit, and then buy with a conventional mortgage.

For me, I need to write off each year and it improves the properties for more appreciation. i also will not need to worry about tenants doing their own "electrical work"

You will pay more for a new deal when prices are so high but if you transition to a different market that is improving then you would hopefully get into a better deal.
