Hey Everyone,I am new the the forum but I am very curious to get your opinion/experience insight.

I have found a few threads on this forum and a few other places but generally speaking I am mostly reading horror stories about half way houses for people coming out of prison.

I'm guessing this is the right sub-forum since this is a tax/withholding/legal/investor contract kind of question.  

Thing is, she is also assertive and likely would not have needed to come on to a forum and ask for advice on an issue like this like you have.

This is my first thread on BP as I've been spending the majority of my time researching and reading on the forums, however I do have 1 quick question i was hoping you all could help me with.I intend to use a HELOC on my primary residence for my first rental purchase and through my research i've learned that banks like to see funds in a bank account for a certain period of time, before they are willing to accept those funds as a viable down payment for a loan on an investment property.This is interesting to me, because the obvious goal with a HELOC is not to use those funds until the last minute, since you are paying interest on them. 

Asking the question in a forum will get you many responses and it can make deciding difficult.

In other forums we talked about doing a vacation rental, wife and I decided to try it locally and learn how to do it before going virtual.Thanks all or any help.
