@Jonathan Greene would you ever consider changing the time for this meet up? Maybe doing 1 in the evenings? I would love to attend but with my regular job can't typically take time from 12-1 off.

Hi,

I’m looking to open a Heloc on a rental property I have in NJ. Does anyone know of any banks or credit unions offering this?

Thanks

@Theresa Harris yes I did get in writing that she's moving out.

@Matt M. good advice! I'm not expecting same day move in/out, was hoping for 2 weeks empty. Thank you.

@Greg M. thanks for the advice! I will use that going forward. This whole COVID19 thing is just throwing a wrench into the mix because evictions are not allowed here in NJ. I'm just nervous to get taken advantage of during this time.

Landlords- how do you handle turning over a unit and ensuring your tenant is actually going to leave at the end of the lease? Currently I have a lease ending 7/15 and want to have the next tenant in on 8/1. I will start advertising the property online, current tenant is not being cooperative in showing the unit. I don't want to sign a lease with someone and then not have the current tenant actually gone on 8/1. How have you handled this in the past? Is it best to wait until we know the tenant is out to start marketing it? I haven't had to do this before as my current rentals have had the same tenants for years.

Thanks!

@Nam Hoang yea I think like George said it’d be dependent on what else is going on with the replacement

@Nam Hoang

are you just replacing something or is this new? My husband is a master plumber in Northern NJ and says that is very reasonable for new.

@Alexandra Hughes Pailet

are the tickets 100% refundable if it's canceled?
