@Doug KirkTo own 8-10 properties in 3-5 years, consider aggressively buying multiple properties or starting small and paying down debt quickly.

What would be the best use or strategy with a 75K HELOC to fund an investment property? 

This either provides opportunities to invest in more real estate, rehab a property(s) or for personal use.You can also sell low performers to do the same.

Once you come up with a entry price point,Overall strategy and goals, then it’s just about finding the best available property on the market.

I have purchased six properties.

This involves purchasing a property with 1 to 4 units using an owner-occupant loan.

I used to dread the thought of managing my rental properties.

We are in the hard money lending business for commercial properties - with loan sizes from $500k to $5 million.  

Before coming to BrightSide, I was the manager of a successful home inspection company based in Knoxville, Tennessee.Since March 2023, I have been helping property managers in the short term vacation rental market learn to use our product and provide support.
