Young, good salary, and no-time: turnkey properties out of state would be best!!
For Florida, if in your area, numbers are not adding up, ( like me in the bay area CA ), Cape Cora, Lehigh, and nearby areas are filled with great deals for new construction and cash-flowy deals.

Dave Ramsey chronically says that numbers don't talk about risk, especially % ROIs, future expected gain value, etc, etc.
A lot can happen in 5 years to those areas, or house, or economy, or to your life. It's highly not recommended to do what you are mentioning.
Rather, getting cash flowy assets generating more cash flow than your interest rate HELOC, would be one of the best ways to proceed.
$80,000 can provide $500 to $700 cash flow a month beyond other benefits if done right.
I am out of state investor for cash flor for many years now, based out of California.

I have been buying cash-flowy properties out of state for two years now, I can share my insight and share contacts if you want.
In general:
- you need to buy property where cash flows more than your HELOC interest.
- There are some lenders I know, that are willing to consider future rental income as part of your debt-to-income ratio and preapprove accordingly.
- Improving credit and starting deploying your $350,000 can be done in parallel. While you find a property, put it under contract, execute the transaction, then look for another one, etc will take time.
