Cool stuff. 

All I'm reading is "did illegal stuff and got caught..."

Agents tend to lock stuff up. 

We have areas where you can invest in homes in the $100k-$200k range and then stuff in the $1,000,000 range pretty easily in California.I work with a lot of international investors, and happy to help where I can.

Mostly because it was so thick with stuff that you really couldn't even walk through the property to make accurate project estimates.

We don't allow access to our garage as we have a lot of stuff for the house stored there, but having some cool game area in there or more storage would be nice.

Interesting stuff.

Taking that money out and anything that leads to more people using the equity from their homes and reduces the friction to that process is not good in the long run.As a NPL buyer who buys 1st position mortgages, we do watch stuff like this carefully as the moment these borrowers get high CLTV's any drop in pricing and change in economic conditions will lead to more foreclosures versus bankruptcies.

It's also harder as a small owner to find good services of handyman/cleaners than it is to do the other stuff once it is set up.  

Quote from @John Woodrich: @James Hamling The owner of Twin Cities Leasing gained his experience working at your employer many years ago.Yeah, after looking them up and checking there stuff out it seems like a re-hash of our system, which makes total sense if coming from our system although I am sure has some own adjustments of his won.
