I am new to real estate investing and was looking into taking a heloc on my primary to purchase land and do a construction loan.

However in the middle of the project, we find major flaws in the A/C so we have to re-do the entire A/C Duct replacement.

If you ever needed the equity out you can sell or do a HELOC/cash out refi. 

Do you mean no proof of a W-2? 

I'm considering paying a lawyer to do a title search.  

What would you do? 

Build a team:- Commercial RE Agent- Lender- Contractor (for any updates/repairs you'd like to do)- Insurance Agent

Hey Jonah,Wow with your background you are going to do great in the Los Angeles Market.

I finished school when I was 16 and now, I'm 17 years old and I'm making 36,000 a year from my w2 job, I know there's not much I could do as of right now but what should I do to set me up so when I turn 18 I can start my investing Journey.

If he paid for that debt like a lot of unperforming note investors do, that would be the basis in the debt.
