    that is incredible! especially on pace to pay the HELOC off in less that 18 months! Did you use the HELOC to purchase the entire property, or as down payment and finance the rest?

    @Patrick Reynolds - Thanks! Heloc was used to purchase the entire property. I've starting using profits from other units to accelerate paydown with the plan to recycle into a new deal when another good opp comes up. 

    @Shadonna N - from the $15k cash investment, Kitchen was $10k, larger deck $2500 smaller deck/patio $1500.
