I have been beta testing the JP Morgan "Story" platform over the last year, and it has been extremely useful for helping to scale my firm's multifamily investment portfolio.

I wanted to apply for home equity loan for investment property but I am not sure when its more beneficial to do it.

Welcome to the exciting world of real estate investing!

I see myself investing in large multi-family and apartments, with other investors too!

Time value of money they could invest that $160k somewhere else and earn $50k+ on it over that period vs losing $96k.

It just doesn't seem like a great area to invest in.

I know it is much harder to find deals in Fort Collins, but I know people are still investing here and having success. 

I purchased my first investment property in NC (previously properties were in California).

My family has been invested in that county since the mid 60s.. that property I knew well.. it cant be developed.. so you have rookie who had no clue and no means to really develop it.. and led on by a lender just interested in the 10k up front.. 

Hello BiggerPockets,I'm seriously thinking about using Home Equity Investment (HEI) to become debt-free, but I want to make sure I understand all the details before diving in.
