What kind of an keypad do you have to set codes remotely?

Hi @Lisa Sluss!

I’m sorry that you’re being turned down for HELOCs.

I would inquire with local credit unions. They often have different rules than banks. I would also ask the bank what the reason is for the denying of the loan and what would need to happen for you to become qualified. Once you know the reason, you can start working on making your financial situation “banker friendly”, so you can access the equity.

Do you have any additional savings or a 401k?

What’s the difference between A, B and C type of market when it comes to buying and selling as well as renting? Are those types similar for buying and renting?

@Lue Brooks @Theresa Harris

They might not have their last utilities statement yet when they move. When they call the utilities companies to tell they’re moving (they can do that before they move), they will have to tell them the new address for their bill.

Because you’re gonna renovate the house, you’ll be responsible for the utilities during that time. I’d just call the utilities company, switch the billing back to my name and ask if the renter already called, too. Ask when their last bill goes out.

From what it sounds like, they seem like good renters, so I don’t think they won’t pay their last bill.

I’m in Lacey, an about 20-30 min drive south from Tacoma. Let’s meet up once you get here. /)
