No secret code--no access to our house. 

I used to work for a guru in the apartment investing space, I learned a lot and we became good friends. 

This will let you dump all your extra cash flow into the HELOC to pay it down, but let you re-access it to tackle another project when you're ready.Finally, although it will probably cost you several thousand more to implement/use, perhaps a hard money type lender is a better way to purchase. 

Real estate agents and brokers tend to good people to get close to as they will have the most access to deals and will also have connections to contractors, lenders, etc..

I'm a first time homebuyer and have access to a VA loan, should I speak with my bank right away to see what funding I can afford?

I do not feel comfortable saying who the custodian is, However; it is one of the self directed brokers in this space.

I have a great off market property that is cash flowing over 8% cap rate and has VA guaranteed rents in 6 private (all have exterior entrances) spaces in a SF residence.

My goal in the next year is to move from single families to the multi-family space, and then quickly to the commercial apartment space.If you're willing to chat, meetup for a drink, or let me know about other meetups in the area (San Francisco/East Bay), then hopefully we can meet and exchange information, build partnerships/friendships, and build towards our financial freedom.Cheers.

It’s a space I’m afraid of, but where my heart really desires to go, because I KNOW that that’s where the money’s at..not in SFR.
