Getting a second mortgage for $62,500 and leaving the existing $50K loan in place is possible, but not easy to find lenders that do that.Sorry, but requests for lenders can only be posting in the Marketplace.

I think the podcast tries to be pretty clear about that; educate yourself, but be prepared to actually take action instead of using needing to educate yourself more as an excuse to never do anything.Given that you already work 55+ hours a week and it doesn't sound like you are looking to leave your job right away, I would focus your REI activity towards creating a business rather than creating a second job for yourself. 

Should this be a concern, as far as being able to rent, especially for Section 8 purposes?

Leaving approx $800 which I would throw toward the principal.

He wants to know what to do.From my position... he was the one with the income so I dont care if she leaves but they are both on the lease.  

Leaves me with 49k

I thought I could leave the camper at a local campground and stay in it while my house is short term leased. 

Sometimes we aren't able to pay the balance in full each month but can pay it down at least 95% which of course leaves us with a balance on interest. 

All told, I would not be overly concerned with reports of Milwaukee's population issues.

I would never assume that you would leave a property that needs work as is even if the tenant is okay with it.
