My team and I work with 2-4 unit investors all over the County, with a majority of the deals having some degree value add.

Question is, do some major banks offer HELOCs on investment properties or am I going to run into this situation often?

As is the case for many of us in California, investing here is cost prohibitive so I’m looking to invest in the Midwest and Southern US Specifically in major metro areas in Alabama.

It depends on the product and where you're building @Yasser Siddiqui.

That is a major part of the problem in our society. 

The property in question is near a major midwest city. 

I think this is a major part of why it didnt sell quickly. 

A vast majority of the work will be done by myself and a few close friends.

You have to meet rules for home office deduction. if you are an investor, The expenses they incur in connection with investing activity are treated as Section 212 expenses incurred for the production of income. 

One major financial aspect that many people do not take into consideration is the effects of appreciation and property taxes.
