My brother and I cashed out of our 5-plex in Ballard last NOV and moved our funds to a property in Boise, ID. 

I've secured funding for single family investments, but have yet to pull the trigger.

Either into another property or in the index fund like you’re talking about.    

I am currently self funded and struggling haha.

But if you don't have enough to cover expenses, can you fund the expenses from non-IRA accounts?

With this strategy, you may be able to cash out your original down payment funds to recycle into the next project.

As well, I have a small new construction condo project and having a really hard time finding funds for it.I did few flips using my own credit and conventional mortgage to finance it but there's certain limitations to these approach as well as rehab cost is not lender's concern.

From what I'm hearing from local note investors, many of them focus on NPN acquired directly from hedge funds given the steady increase in foreclosures. 

@Jonathan Rosado I like the flexibility of the HELOC for short term funding- I take out the max amount once and use however much I need at the time I need it, VS refinancing my whole home (at a higher rate than I purchased it at too) and having that money sit around unused if I don't have a plan for it. 

Owner occupiedIn search of a loan that will allow the purchase of a FORCLOSED home in need of repair, repairs to be funded and done by myself and specialty craftsman that I have connections with, without 20% down.
