Hello BP community,I’m exploring different financing strategies for my next investment property and am considering using a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) as the down payment for a buy-and-hold property.Has anyone here successfully used a HELOC for this purpose?

Do your own research, develop an investment thesis, and then start checking properties in AirDNA to verify your ideas. 

I've found that what I value most in regards to real estate investing are the people who know about actual home repair and can approach a sale from that perspective.

I am in the market for a custodian for a self-directed IRA for real estate investing.

Hi, I have been on Biggerpockets and reading all the information i can get.We are getting ready to buy our first out of state investment property and looking in Austin.Looking for advise on which area is better, RR looks to be closer to the tech offices and some parts have great schools however Pflugerville is not too far either and schools are not abysmal like in proper Austin and the prices are lower.

Will never invest in that part of country again but I am curious to see what other cities to avoid.
