Being a real estate agent has been a side business for me as I have a full time career. 

So make a list of all the lenders you want to quote on your loan, and call them all on the same day.Compare apples to apples by getting a detailed quote for closing costs as well as the interest rate and loan length.

HI @Rodney MooreI am a full-time real estate investor in North Alabama that is actively:1.

There were a litany of major repairs needed (structural work, mold infestation, an unusable garage that needed full replacement, broken a/c, big hole in roof, etc. etc. etc.).  

However, in a few years when I go full time real estate then I can roll it over to a self directed IRA!!

I'm a 22 year old Clemson graduate who has recently moved to Greenville for work as a full time software developer.

Make sure to check out the Bigger Pockets Blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/It is full of great information.

I've tried looking through public records on my county's website before (to look for liens etc.) but it is hard to find anything, especially when the seller is an entity that owns a lot of properties like banks and HUD.

I want to end up owning enough rentals and commercial building to live off of so I can start working on my other company full time and not having to work for someone else.What path has the best chance of getting me to the path fastest?

The point as I see it is that an additional ELOC or refi of the FIRST one will put a strain on ITS cash flow, but so long as it isn't a negative flow, the amount cashed out should easily be able to act as the full deposit for the second, so the rest could be fairly conventional.And of course, the second one needs to have a SIMILAR order of built-in equity, and so on!...
