Using a HELOC on investment property is a good strategy, DM me with any questions.

Looking to connect with local community members who have high standards and great work ethic so we can learn, build partnerships and make some money together :) - fellow investors to exchange knowledge, partner on deals, etc (both local and out of state)- investor friendly lenders who can provide holistic service across different loan types- investor friendly real estate agents that I can partner with (mainly on acquisition)- serious wholesalers with solid deals- GCs, trades people, builders of new homes and ADUs- inspectorsI am early in the journey and considering a number of strategies, would love to learn what has or has not worked in the past, and maybe even create some new playbooks together in this ever-changing market.cheers,Max

As I'm trying to approach this with a solid strategy, here's where I stand and what I'm contemplating:1.

/pros/cons in regards to development strategies for your property. 

During the first year, I utilized a house-hacking strategy, renting out bedrooms while living on-site.

Exit strategy is refinance 800k, the projected rent roll is 10k to 15k. 

Hi Linda, I have a STR complex in Houston that has been consistently booked.

They're the kind of pros who can dig into your plan, give it a good shake, and offer smart advice on everything from portfolio strategies to tax stuff.Sounds like it could be a game changer for you, right?

My rough strategy is buy SFH (older but (semi) recently remodeled B- to A- properties in good areas likely to continue appreciating and attracting good, trouble-free tenants) 0% down VA (may consider a small amount on second property, like up to 3% just to speed things along) and stay in it as my own primary residence until at least 10% of purchase price paid off and able to cashflow 300+/ month after mortgage, taxes, insurance and 15% set aside for repairs, vacancy, and maintenance (like I said, I'm not overly interested in rental RE, so I want to be sure it's lower effort and worth my time in return).

I do understand that this strategy will mean lower returns as well.
