Do you have multiple sources to get off market properties?

As a registered tax preparer with the IRS I can offer the following insights.With an LLC you can choose to be taxed as a Sole Proprietorship (Single member LLC or two spouses), Partnership, S Corp or C Corp (Muliti member options).

There are a few that I would highlight: the "Real Estate Rookie" and the "BiggerPockets Real Estate" Podcasts, "Set for Life" by Scott Trench, and "How to Invest in Real Estate" by Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner.There are obviously hundreds of more sources that I could recommend, but these are a couple of great ways to get your toes wet, diving in further where you see fit.  

You'll still likely be looking at other sources of funding in addition to your policy loan.

If you are dead set on a HELOC you will likely need the following for an investment property: An excellent credit score (720 or higher), A maximum 80% loan-to-value ratio, Healthy cash reserves on hand, Sufficient income from tenants, Additional features that make the property attractive, like whether it has long-term tenants (Source https://www.rocketmortgage.com...)

A person’s own funds are not support unless they are actually spent for support (Source https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/...)

If you have time, source your leads your self; drive the area you invest in and look for distressed homes, door knock on the foreclosure list, use door hangers when you see a home you really want.

I am currently working on a HELOC for my primary residence to have a cash source for continued REI.

Landlord may at its sole option, upon written notice to Tenant,create a month to month tenancy between Landlord and Tenant under the sameterms and conditions of this Lease.
