Below is my long term game plan/ strategy to financial freedom.  

I am not a banker but they are doing so many of these loans they crunch numbers, use software and maybe have someone do a drive by.If there is good equity in the property based on your remaining mortgage and if they have any doubts they may restrict your LTV but I don't think all HELOC's come with a detailed inspection of the property.

In this game we are targeting properties.... but we are also targeting unsophisticated sellers. 

But don't play games with me because I will out game a newbie every time.

To me, this is what it means to be a truly professional RE investor, as opposed to a gambler ... not saying that I'm 100% there yet, but this is the end game for me at least.

All three go hand in hand, you can't simply select one or two aspects and play the game without being called out by authorities.  

But again, I'm just a kid, and I'm sure people who have been in this game a lot longer in SoCal than I have (like @Matt R. and @Steve Short above) can give some better advice.Thanks for sharing your purchase Logan.

As they say "numbers don't lie" but some in this game edit numbers let's say when financial gain in their favor.

Right outside this will be a good sized game room with a fireplace, sitting area and sufficient space for pool table or other games.  

We also host 'Cash Flow Game Days' - the Robert Kiyosaki Game and have Happy Hours, Field Trips, etc.Anyways, my own story - last year I purchased a SFR after networking on BP and doing my own research for about 6 months.I wrote about how I selected a market in this BP Blog Post that I wrote:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/6526/blog_post...Our next meetup is going to be on Oct 17, Seoul, Gangnam.
