Your story is inspiring — single mom, full-time job, and still pushing toward freedom through real estate.

Having a HELOC might drop the score a wee bit, but I really don't think having it sit there is going to cause you a negative issue.

My Crew Enterprises property Inspire on 22nd in Austin has restarted distributions this month at 1.0%.

I think your post was pretty inspired, and I can tell you are motivated to learn as much as you can.

Your primary interest does not have to be real estate (though I expect multiple people in the mastermind will have real estate as a focus considering we're finding each other on BiggerPockets).I was inspired by the GoBundance group, however I'm holding off on GoBundance after finding they have a $10,000 per year fee to join.

The IDF gives me a lot of inspiration on how to deal with gurus! 

We do a weed & feed service in spring, which is incredibly inexpensive for how much better our properties look. 

Most of the paid coaching programs are inspirational guru shops whose training ultimately boils down to "cold call fifty realtors an hour every hour for the rest of your life."

Great thread - it actually inspired me to try changing some of my photos around.

I just finished The Small & Mighty Real Estate Investor and it has inspired me to create a plan to acquire three more units in the next 6 years.
