I have worked for some time to grow in ways that are not super conventional; I don't charge for certain services, or add on made up charges too my owners, and yet get blessed - the best strategy that has worked for me, is consistency.

I've done my due diligence (Estimated rehab budget, researched comps, reviewed the forums ;) and have a contractor lined up).I'm still super nervous and I'm sure that feeling does not leave but I'm just wondering if you experienced investors have and words of wisdom when the financial and anxiety levels are stretched!

The majority of 1-4 MF are in super expensive areas like Montrose, less desirable areas outside of town, or new developments which haven't proven their long term attraction.

The HELOC would be a first lien and would be minimal, so the rate would be super competitive and you'd be able to tap into for a couple years depending on the draw period.But go with the free option (0% credit card), just do not miss a payment because that will screw any future financing requests because it will tank your credit score. 

It’s affordable and super practical, and the people there are really open to helping newcomers get started. 

The season is not super long if you are focused on the lake crowd, if you are in areas for hunting though that does certainly open up some other avenues.
