What concerns me is the underwriters of your new conforming loan will see the brand new HELOC which is also supposed to be on your primary residence and it will screw your loan up on the house you really need at the last minute.

It's for this fact that so many join and work under a Brokerage Brand.

Has a brand new roof and zoned for adding 3rd unit.Property 2 is in a larger suburb area with about 80K population and in a county of 2 million.

Fresh out of college, we moved to Dallas, TX to take on entry level jobs making very minimal amounts of money.

I'm brand new to the game and still learning oodles every single day.

Shortly after moving in, this house (built in 2006 so 18 yrs old) styarted having issues - cooktop working erratically, they replaced it with a high-end (GE Profile) new one.....Dishwasher started leaking, replaced with brand new GE Profile. 50 Gal water heater went out (elements) they replaced.So in just 6 months, they have spent about $5000 on me.

Instead of paying $500 to keep a seven year old fridge, I added on top of it and got a brand new one to avoid any trouble in the future.A couple days later after getting the refrigerator, I get a call from my Upstairs tenant saying the garbage disposal is leaking.

Much more durable.New toilets are a new brainer, also stay away from cheap brands, go mid grade.

If you can buy brand new at close to production cost turn key... thats a huge win for long term appreciation.

Whether that looks like one subcontractor you trust, or a company who's brand identity you can get behind.
