I’m looking to connect with experienced investors, especially those who’ve succeeded with buy-and-hold, Maybe even Section 8, or creative finance methods. 

We bought our first buy and hold property in the Birmingham, AL area using the BRRRR method.

Where my roadblock comes is that I have read on this forum a number of times that using a HELOC for a down payment can quickly over lever a person and that is something I don’t want to do.I have thought about DSCR loans, house hacking, BRRR (I love the idea but not so sure the wife would love it with the construction, especially if it is a house hack as well), and a few other methods of acquiring my next property.
