@Jordyn Ohs Assuming your heloc is re-advanceable and the rate is higher than your mortgage, I would suggest you pay your HELOC down as quickly as possible with any cash flow from the properties.

I’m here as a 51 year old newbie to real estate investing and wanting to learn as much as possible.  

Quote from @Johnny Lynum: Quote from @Billy Smith: I like SFH in the A-B area rent it you do the  upkeep  doing as much as possible your self to help max your rent out .I like to pay down the note as fast as possible .If in a C-D area I would flip the SFH wash your hands of it.SFH are generally easier to unload if you get in a cash crunch, I like staying in the first time home buyers level of a SFH  keeping it in a hot zone .If I were a BIG fish I would do deals at various level's of course after  doing the home work . 

To many people get in real estate thinking they can do it all by themselves and it is not possible.

However, I don’t know how to go about possible PML and maybe a partner.

I'm not familiar with Pace Morby, but I'm based in STL and would be happy to help answer your questions and possibly make some introductions.

Everyone on the team is extremely concerned with providing excellent customer service, communicating as fast as possible, and being as transparent as possible.  

We draft the jobs ourselves, GC the jobs ourselves, avoid financing whenever possible, and I handle the listing as a licensed real estate agent, so we're collecting all the profit that can possibly be had on each job (aside from the fact that we try to not self-perform too much and mostly sub out the work).

I find it hard to believe there won't be access to some kind of REI meet up somewhere around most anyone these days.I would suggest going to as many REI meet ups as possible.

If you don't have the most amount of liquidity and want to scale with as little capital as possible, I would focus on cash flow.
