Well, first I'm a long term buy and hold investor.

We use it for rental as well when we're not there so there's income coming in. 

I believe my clients are happy with their first investments (purchased with me and managed by me) as well.

I am now getting emails from Limitless as well.

I grew up in southern NH and now live in the seacoast area where I invest, recently licensed in NH as well.

I'm going to offer up a few words of caution, as well as the way I like to approach flips.... but to answer your up front question on financing, the typical heloc is going in the 9% range.  

Well, if you rolled it over to a Roth IRA where you manage it it might be better.But, if rates rise a little more, just pull from your retirement funds to cover. 

Assuming you "converted" the property to rental 4-5 years ago and you filed for rental applications/permits and have been filing 1040's for that property then you should be good from an age perspective. 

Now, I go back and rewatch for all the tips and tricks gold he has in there about construction etc.The office hours are incredibly helpful as well.

I am well versed and up to date on the VA loan program as well as other resources to help veterans understand their benefits to help them reach their real estate goals!
