Is this a flip? 

Keep in mind that adding 300 square feet to a property in Maryvale may only translate into $30,000 - $35,000 worth of additional value.

How much are you getting the addition done for?

I've never dealt with removing asbestos but I have had homes tested for it and I use EMC Labs at 9830 S 51st St. It's cheap and the turnaround time is a day or less. All you need is a small sample of the suspected asbestos-containing material in a ziploc baggie.

Thanks guys for the advise. @Matt Morgan Any recommendations on where to buy with solid cashflow if I were to use a HELOC?

 Any of the Midwest markets should do the trick. Preferably somewhere you already have contacts...you need solid boots on the ground in order to make investing from afar work.

Your return on equity is pretty terrible so I would advise you unlock some of the capital, either by selling or taking out a HELOC.

I always like the idea of keeping a property and getting a HELOC because you get to reap the rewards of equity without sacrificing your cashflow or the long term benefits of holding property. If you sold the house, your closing costs would eat up some of your proceeds and on top of that you'd have to pay capital gains.

Keep in mind that many think the market, especially in So Cal, is probably nearing it's peak, so if you can't comfortably pay the expenses on that property or you'll have a need to liquidate in the next 5 years, it may just be better to sell high. 

By the same token, I wouldn't recommend using any of the equity to buy expensive California assets or low cap rate multi family right now. I'd stick to something with solid cashflow that won't take too much of a nose dive in the next dip and will give you nice returns in the mean time.

Hannah, 

Ask Charlie Stidham how he's doing with his listing in McCormick ranch. :) 

As I'm sure you're aware, luxury homes in Phoenix are depreciating in value right now. Too much inventory. DOM are high. Definitely requires a large risk appetite.

If I were doing luxury flips, I'd stick to Arcadia but even that area is becoming too saturated.
