Many years ago I wrote a blog post here on mentors. you might find it valuable.https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3225/26426-how-do...

The important thing here is that if I take out debt on the property, it has to remain at the same value that I'm paying on the HELOC.

I explain to Al, that I was uncomfortable with it and he can't be advertising listings on the internet that aren't even his.Couple days later Al calls me with his mentor on the line asking me if I'll show him another property but this time they want to host an Open House at this property.  

Then I verify that with online data, brokers, and local real estate investors.

I’m also in Boston, and I’m currently working on building my wholesale business — trying to connect with other investors, landlords, and agents in the area.Your knowledge of multi-families and off-market deals would be super valuable as I’m working on building my buyers’ list and finding the right properties.

Read reviews when buying online.

We focus on Yield on Cost.This distinction isn’t just a nuance—it’s the cornerstone of our development philosophy.

That being said, HELOCs on investment property as still alive and well up for between 70%-75% LTV...somtimes 80% with great credit and the right circumstances.

If you get the foundation company out first to tell you what needs done, in my experience they almost always try to up sell you on things you don't need. 

Time spent working on you is most often the most valuable time you can spend.
