But yeah, we realize we're getting into a competitive market with a lot of investors having a ton of liquidity sitting on the sidelines waiting for the next deal...so we're keeping our expectations for finding our first investment reasonable! 

That being said, I would drive for dollars and send mailers or just pick up the phone and start calling cold leads & expireds.

The inherited tenant old lease will expire soon.

With that being said, there was still liquidity in the market place with your traditional private lending companies still writing loans.  

I have filed a Tenant Holding Over since their lease has now expired and I received a court date in March. 

Liquidity matters.

If it were me, I'd want to be able to stay liquid and a HELOC helps me do that.

I'm looking for options that are nearly as liquid but have better returns. 

Do I use the depreciation and amortization report and add “Building+furniture & fixtures” which is our total schedule E depreciation and amortization for current year or is there more to it?

When current leases expire?
