Hey Matt,I aggressively built a 12-door rental portfolio from 2019-2021, largely leveraging my HELOC.I always tell people that it's a fantastic tool as long as:- You can COMFORTABLY service the extra debt- You have a plan to pay it offI was ok with the extra debt servicing and my payoff plan was simply finding off-market deals, paying cash, doing cosmetic rehabs, and refinancing when done.

There's a meetup--red stick investors group--here in BR that is great for meeting other people in RE and learning.

Also, cross check the owner of record to make sure they are who they say they are (many people do give a friends number and say they're the landlord)  That's why it's so important to check

The feedback I've received from people is that the legal side tends to be excellent.
