@Beau Watson

Did you have to get a different insurance policy to be able to do this?

Hi y'all. Do you know if we can have a HELOC open on each of our properties? I am not asking about having two HELOCS on the same property. I know Huntington Bank was offering 1 HELOC on your primary and 1 on an investment property, but they removed it because of COVID. Does anyone know a lender that can do this?

Thanks

Definitely doesn't seem to be worth doing after everything I've read. The idea was in my mind after hearing it as an example on many episodes, but I guess it's more applicable for commercial units. Thank you all for the feedback.

@Ben I. - Curious about what other thing (@Mark Ainley@John Warren or @Brie Schmidt), but my thought is it may not be worth doing here in Chicago (and not sure if you can) since it is almost standard that the landlord pays the water.  I feel like you may eliminate a large section of your tenant pool because you are having them pay for water when every other landlord doesn't.

I have some SFM that I have the tenants pay for the water, but you are right when it comes to apartments. If I can find an option that hooks up to Wi-Fi, I'm considering offering two options when they sign the lease. One would be a higher option where water is included and the other one would be a lower option where they pay their own water.
