Good luck and stay active here, it will be very beneficial.One last note, when starting out, it can be an emotional roller coaster, one day you want to give up and the next you feel like you are on top of the world.

My name is Mike Nolan and am looking for some constructive feedback on my current game plan to get started in the RE investing world.

There is often a disconnect between how things work on paper versus in the real world...Funny story, I had a tenant who became a police officer, which was probably the third profession he had tried since being a tenant.

So trying to explore if there's a way we can get best of both worlds (flexibility of using line of credit and low / fixed interest rates).(3) are there other considerations we should keep in mind as we go down the path of taking a HELOC / HEL loan on our primary residence?

I’ve worked on small and large  scale residential and commercial projects and have some great relationships with many of Southern Arizona's finest contractors, tradesmen, supply houses and developer/investors.Recently I attained my real estate license and am slowly building my contacts and relationships in this world.  

I am also a licensed realtor who lives in the area and have very much enjoyed the life and real estate world of Western WI.

So I’m putting the question out there to the world, has anyone went through this before?

In today's world lease termination because of an extra pet is not always easy. 

The world is an unpredictable and unsafe place.
