Quote from @Tyler Sanzone:

Looking for some opinions on how much percentage to tap into for a heloc on my primary home. I'm looking to apply for a heloc through PenFed who offer up to 90% LTV. The house is valued around 325k and I owe 170k. The primary reason for the heloc would be to use about 10k for some debt consolidation, and the rest for my first investment property to BRRRR. I'm questioning if it's worth tapping into 90% at a higher interest rate (as low as 4.75% adj) or using a lesser LTV for the lower interest rate (as low at 3.75%) due to the fact I need to use it for debt consolidation as well.

You have the answer how much do you need for your investing and what return are you going to get... if you need the 90% for the leverage you are going to get in the investing  get the 90%.

Hey everyone. Super noob here looking to pursue my real estate investing career and have already started reading more into it. If it’s not too much trouble I’d like some advice on where to start with a home that needs severe rehab. The thing is it’s my fathers house and he can no longer afford the mortgage and wants me to take over to rehab it and put it up for rent. Another thing is that it’s the house I was raised in so the property has some sentimental value and I don’t want to lose it either. Besides the rehabilitation factor would it be wise to take over payments on the home? And would I be financially be burdening myself?

 Take over payments is great only if the asset you are getting has the value...  simple would you take overpayments of any car ... most of the time they already owe more than is worth....      You need a contractor to know the cost of rehab,  do research on the rent you can get, and contracts you need to find a local realtor.  Get together with an investment group they should wide you with the professionals you need.
But Do it if you are thinking on the Real estate path, the opportunity you have is unique you will learn and hopefully keep the property as a great rental investment.

Hey BP fam, I have a couple of questions about buying foreclosure properties. I see a couple of them in my area are due to auction off next month and I wanted to know the pros and cons of buying foreclosure properties.. Any advice would help thanks..

Foreclosure is a big word.  It depends where you buy them if it is an REO most of the liens are satisfied and also property should be vacant. if you are thinking of buying at the court auction, my advice get together with an investor group that have the experience to do it.
It a all cash deal and can have many headaches, you will need the experience to clear them out.  Can you make a lot of money yes but you are going to have to work it. @luis maqueira
