Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to connecting with all of youHi Emily!

I've got about $525K in equity in the property, but lenders have told me that I cannot get a HELOC to access that equity for additional purchases because the duplex was financed as an investment - they have said TX law dictates that HELOC can only be used on primary residences.

My goal is to grow this business by expanding my investor network and seeking properties that will allow for additional scalability.

Like @Jesse Rivera mentioned above, I also go to a few sessions but spend most of my time in the lobby or at the bar making connections."

Was able to get a meeting with the seller and negotiated using evolving knowledge of construction and deal analysis in addition to discovering seller motivation through direct contact.

I've also leveraged their webhooks to automate additional things on my end like setting the thermostat to the appropriate temperature an hour before the guest check-in and turning it off after they check out.

Still open to connecting with investors?

I'm terrified enough of doing this out of state, so I am not interested in additional complexities with BRRRR.

Feel free to private message me with any additional questions.

How do you finance the tear down do you add it to construction?
