I like option #2 but you might not be able to buy too many homes with just $75,000.You might be able to get into some decent properties in the $200,000 range in those cities which would require 20% down which is $40,000.If you had $25,000 ontop of the $75,000 HELOC, you might be afford the downpayment, closing costs and a small rehab budget.Best of luck!
