You open yourself up to too much liability.1.

This will give you a base for what you need to put in to get the best value out of your properties when you are checking ARV and getting the sales price you want along with selling quickly. 

@Ryon PaxHave you considered cutting some of your personal expenses to pay for the HELOC or find another way to generate added income?

I mention this because if you're working with a lender or broker and tell them up front that you intend to payoff your loan in a few months, they probably arent going to waste time on you because they dont want to work for free.

Hi James, Feel free to send me a link.

I then attended a couple of hearings when I had the time from my day job.BTW: Attending a hearing meant I had to sit there for seeral hours, listening to several other cases, before my case was heard.

I also encourage you not to give up on a real estate.

Also, in TX at least, only licensed agents are allowed to show properties and some of them even have locks specific to realtors.

Go to networking events and be intentional about who you're looking to meet that day and what kind of value you'd like to add to them.
