I'd like to access this equity through a Home Equity Loan (HEL) and use it to make downpayment on another investment property purchase (12 unit bldg).I bought this 4-plex in my personal name with a conventional mortgage .

Is this just not a thing in Texas?

This move is a dream for both my fiancée and me, so it’s not something we'd reconsider.

Can I please have the BP community thoughts on this?

I think this gets missed sometimes, or people are surprised that they are taking a lot of risk AND energy/time to get returns generally available already with much lower of the two

Thank you for providing such valuable information about the local meetings.

While this term might sound like a positive development, it is essentially a rebranding of the traditional "Price Reduction."

I'm sure you heard this a lot, but it is true.Interest could either be "portfolio income" or "ordinary business income."

This rule prevents property flipping fraud.
