Outside of arson or a natural disaster like a twister this is horrible.  

I am skeptical by nature and prefer to do my own research/due diligence.

Naturally, the media has been discussing a recession which has made me hesitant to move forwards.

I'm a realtor so I'm naturally around real estate constantly, but I haven't yet pulled that trigger on my first investment property. 

I'm naturally very optimistic and the fact that this recession was forced by a virus and not a financial or economic crisis leads me to be think it will be sooner than later.

Same like in 2007-2008 HELOC became harder to get later on in the downturn.The reason i love HELOC's is because it helps with Liquidity, I would suggest all investors to try and obtain Lines Of credit sooner rather then later. some lenders will give a LINE OF CREDIT supplemental loan.

The cherry on-top is the professional and conservative nature of the student group, which is expected to drive lower maintenance costs than your average college student!

Any contractor can work on any rehab project but just because they "can" doesn't mean they have the knowledge or understanding of the unique nature and intricacies of the rehab loan guidelines, paperwork, timelines, compensation structure, etc. 

I am an impatient person by nature and very eager to get in real estate investing.

Hey @Maria Bocanegra, HML are usually short term in nature.
